New
York Times:
"Miss
Yaltah Menuhin has some illustrious relatives .... but her playing
can stand by itself."
|
 |
The
Times, London:
"Strength
and Eloquence: A recital in the first place enjoyable for its
fascinating variety."
|
 |
Geneva
Tribune:
"Behind
an appearance of touching beauty, Yaltah Menuhin possesses a reserve
of unsuspected powers - which, thanks to her self-mastery and
profound culture, she channels into musical paths sprinkled with
tenderness, acuity and modesty."
|
 |
Daily
Telegraph, Manchester:
"Yaltah
Menuhin's recital embraced a wide scope. Her interpretation seemed
to suggest 'emotion recollected in tranquility': an intellectual,
reflective exploration of the composer's meaning which is illumined
by a deep and warm musicianship.... she struck the true note of
Beethoven's grandeur - majestic, lofty, yet close to the heart."

Guide
de concert, Paris:
"Yaltah
Menuhin displays a great pianistic virtuosity permeated with lyricism;
a strong rhythm underlines a brilliant rendition which is also
poetic, sensitive, elegant, simple and intense at the same time."
|
 |
Mail,
Oxford:
"Mozart
most lyrical and played with grace: Yaltah Menuhin is a sensitive
Mozart player. At the Town Hall she chose the lyrical A major
concerto and played it with grace and charm. There was much sunlight
in the two outer movements and in the melancholy slow movement,
she maintained an admirably smooth flow and continuity."
|
 |
Los
Angeles Times:
"Miss
Menuhin, the sister of Yehudi and Hephzibah, is an extraordinarily
gifted pianist .... fleet and accurate fingers that produce a
broad and firm tone .... a rare sense of musical values and style."
|
 |
Citizen,
Ottawa:
"Yaltah
Menuhin at the piano ended the season with one of the finest performances
this city has heard in many decades."
|
 |
New
Zealand Herald:
"Yaltah
Menuhin maintained the family tradition of faultless technique
and beautiful tone. Bach's Partita in A minor was played magnificently
with stength and rich timbre, pellucid clarity of melodic line,
perfect combining of contrapunctal streams and depth of character
in every phrase. It had the large tone of unimpeachable quality
which one remembers in Solomon's playing."
|
 |
Examiner,
San Francisco:
"Her
playing had complete technical assurance, lively spirit and feeling
.... poetic thoughtfulness with flights of passion .... a brilliant
achievement."
