About

This was a memorable concert taken from the 1964 Bath Festival, and for collectors it is very important because none of these artists, including Yehudi Menuhin, whose discography is vast, ever recorded Beethoven’s Triple Concerto.

The Beethoven Triple Concerto relies on players familiar with chamber music, and this is what it gets here, because Yehudi Menuhin, with the great French cellist Maurice Gendron (1920-1990) and Menuhin’s sister, Hephzibah Meuhin (1920-1981), formed a Trio which lasted for 25 years!

The Brahms Double Concerto produces an exciting performance with Menuhin in particular in good form, strongly supported by Gendron and the LSO under the dynamic direction of Istvan Kertesz, whose appointment as the LSO’s chief conductor was made the following year in 1965. Kertesz did not record these works commercially.

Recorded: Bath Festival, Colston Hall, 10 June 1964. Mono.
