Sonata No. 6 in G major, BWV 1019(I) Allegro(II) Largo(III) Allegro (piano solo: Kentner)(IV) Adagio(V) AllegroComposer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)Performers: Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999) &Louis Kentner (1905-1987)Recorded: London, 1951Louis Kentner was a Hungarian, later British, pianist who excelled in the works of Chopin and Liszt, as well as the Hungarian repertoire.He was born Lajos Kentner in Karwin in Austrian Silesia (present-day Karviná, Czech Republic), to Hungarian parents. He received his education as a musician at the Royal Academy of Music in Budapest from 1911 to 1922, studying with Arnold Székely (piano), Hans Koessler and Zoltán Kodály (composition), and Leo Weiner (chamber music).Kentner commenced his concert career at the age of 15. He was awarded 5th Prize at the 1932 International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw; and he won a Liszt prize in Budapest. He moved to England permanently in 1935. He gave radio broadcasts of the complete sonatas of Beethoven and Schubert, the complete Well-Tempered Clavier (Bach), and the complete Années de Pèlerinage (Liszt). He was President of the British Liszt Society for many years, until his death.At the composer's request, he was the soloist at the Hungarian premiere of Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 2, in Budapest in 1933, under Otto Klemperer; and the first European performance of the Concerto No. 3 (in London, under Sir Adrian Boult, 27 November 1946). He and Yehudi Menuhin gave the first performance of William Walton's Violin Sonata, at Zürich on 30 September 1949.His playing was heard in Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto from the soundtrack of the 1941 film Dangerous Moonlight. However, his hands were not shown, and he preferred to be uncredited as he did not think that being associated with film music would help his career. When the piece achieved world-wide popularity, however, he was happy to acknowledge his involvement.He was a member of many music competition juries. He also composed, his output including orchestral works, chamber music, piano pieces and songs.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Kentner [ More Detail ]

Yehudi Menuhin and his teacher, the romanian violinist George Enescu play the first movement (vivace) of Bach's double violin concerto in d minor. This recording is absolutely amazing. Both violinists have such a unique and amazing sound that I don't think it's even necessary to say who's playing first violin and who's playing second. By the way, this recording was made in 1932, which would put Menuhin at the young age of 16 in this recording. [ More Detail ]

Yehudi Menuhin plays "Chaconne" By J.S.Bach. Gstaad 1972. Introduced by Ivry Gitlis. This was recorded off ABC TV Australia a number of years ago. From an excellent documentary called "The Art Of Violin: The Devil`s Instrument" NVC Arts/Warner Arts Nov 2001. Director Bruno Monsaingeon. I Believe it`s part of an "Art Of" series possibly commissioned by PBS in America. There are companion docos "The Art Of The Piano", "The Art Of Singing" and two "The Art Of Conducting" from the same series and production company. I haven`t seen the ones about Singers or Conductors but both the Violin and Piano documentaries are glorious. Highly recommended. [ More Detail ]
