Yehudi Menuhin, Baron Menuhin, OM, KBE (April 22, 1916 – March 12, 1999) was a violinist and conductor who spent most of his performing career in the United Kingdom. He was born to Jewish parents in the United States, but became a citizen of Switzerland in 1970, and of the United Kingdom in 1985. He is commonly considered one of the twentieth century’s greatest violin virtuosi.

Originally filmed for television in the 1960s, each DVD contains around one hour’s worth of footage as Lord Menuhin works with a group of young students from his famous school in Stoke D’Abernon. This is the only known example of Lord Menuhin recorded giving personal tuition.
