“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.” “Yaltah Menuhin maintained the family tradition of faultless technique and beautiful tone. Bach’s Partita in A minor was played magnificently with strength 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 one remembers in Solomon’s playing.” “Yaltah 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.” “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.” “Behind an appearance of touching beauty, pianist 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.” “At Town Hall, this sensitive Mozartian played the lyrical A major concerto with grace and charm. There was much sunlight in the outer movements and in the melancholy slow movement, she maintained an admirably smooth flow and continuity.” “Miss Yaltah Menuhin has some illustrious relatives …. but her playing can stand by itself.” “Strength and Eloquence: A recital in the first place enjoyable for its fascinating variety.” “Her playing had complete technical assurance, lively spirit and feeling (…) thoughtfulness and passion (…) a brilliant achievement.” “Yaltah Menuhin at the piano ended the season with one of the finest performances this city has heard in many decades.”
