80 CDs of landmark recordings. 11 DVDs featuring rare performances and documentaries. A beautifully produced hardback book (250+ pages).
Extensive archive material, including previously unreleased recordings. The set draws from Menuhin's historic collaboration with EMI/Warner and includes many rare or first-time-on-CD recordings, making it one of the most comprehensive collections of his work ever released. Highly regarded and increasingly collectible box set.Comprising a total of 80 CDs across five themed boxes, 11 DVDs and a hardback book, The Menuhin Century draws on the unequalled 70-year relationship between the violinist and the record company HMV/EMI. That collaboration produced a total of some 300 discs, which are now part of Warner Classics' unrivalled catalogue. While The Menuhin Century is impressively extensive, spanning the years 1929 to 1998, it does not aim for completeness; rather, its particular focus is on the violinist's landmark interpretations and on recordings never before released, or appearing for the first time on CD.
About a third of the CDs in The Menuhin Century comprise rare or unreleased recordings, so the set offers a thrilling voyage of discovery both to Menuhin aficionados and to music-lovers experiencing his artistry for the first time.
