MASTERCLASS WITH MENUHIN

55 minutes/Grades 7-Adult Stereo Sound (16mm available on 2 reels
for schools)

Produced by Rhombus Media/

A film by Niv Fichman

The Guelph Spring Festival provides the backdrop for this
extraordinary meeting between two of the most impressive prodigies
of the violin: 76-year-old Sir Yehudi Menuhin and 14-year-old
Corey Cerovsek.

With the Camerata Lysy Gstaad (his own student orchestra from
Switzerland) Menuhin, with characteristic warmth, humor, and
rigor, holds a master class for some of Canada's most gifted
violin students. The culmination is a dramatic performance of
Bach's Concerto in D minor for Two Violins, with Menuhin and
Cerovsek.

• "Fascinating footage of a young genius preparing for his
  encounter with the old master... full of gorgeous moments... the
  cameos of each violinist, little and big, are rich, intimate
  character studies full of warm humor." The Spectator
  

• "There is definitely an audience for this video. Music lovers
  as well as students who may not have the good fortune to have
  Menuhin as a personal instructor will benefit from his astute
  observations. Library collections should feature this program...
  It is highly recommended." **** Video Rating Guide for Libraries
  

• "High school and college string students, as well as orchestra
  teachers, will find this video enjoyable and beneficial." Kansas
