Yehudi Menuhin Quotes

The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency – half tiger, half poet.

– Yehudi Menuhin

I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being – a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.

– Yehudi Menuhin

The violinist must possess the poet’s gift of piercing the protective hide which grows on propagandists, stockbrokers and slave traders, to penetrate the deeper truth which lies within.

– Yehudi Menuhin

– Yehudi Menuhin
