Yehudi Menuhin was a world-class violinist and conductor, but also a visionary educator and brave upholder of human rights. To mark the centenary of this charismatic figure’s birth, broadcaster Humphrey Burton recalls the 40 years he spent working with Menuhin – the subject of his 20-part radio feature The Master Musician and recently re-published biography. With interviews and rare archive film, we remember the prodigy’s extraordinary life; followed by a recital from the centenary Menuhin Competition junior winner.
