Menuhin - A Family Portrait

Facts Tony Palmer's documentary about Yehudi Menuhin, the legendary violinist and conductor, who is commonly considered to be one of the twentieth century's greatest violin virtuosi. Tony Palmer has used lots of material not seen previously from Menuhin's own archive, to create this heart-rending and multi-award winning film. It included all the members of Menuhin's family living at the time, who struggle to piece together what had really happened to the son of Russian/ Tartar parents who was defiantly named Yehudi - 'the Jew'.
