Yehudi Menuhin (April 22, 1916 – March 12, 1999) was a Russian Jewish American Violinist and conductor who spent most of his performing career in the United Kingdom. He was born to Russian Jewish parents in the United States, but became a citizen of Switzerland in 1970, and of the United Kingdom in 1985. He is often considered to be one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century.
Whichever of his passions Yehudi Menuhin pursued – performing or conducting – every note of his music was a gift to a mankind. Through his music he succeeded in inspiring people all over the world – with the spirit of joy, hope and international understanding. This great gift was just one of the reasons for the recognition and honour that he received worldwide.
The Donation Pen Yehudi Menuhin was created as a token of respect for his life’s work. This pen, with its loving details, is as unforgettable as it is unique. As a tribute to the virtuosity of the violinist, the gold-plated clip symbolises the neck of a violin with its scroll. The delicately engraved ring around the cap of the pen carries his signature. A delicate engraving of a dove decorates the rhodium-plated 18-carat gold nib. The Donation Pen Yehudi Menuhin is thus a symbol of deep respect for Menuhin’s great ideas and visions, and a lasting memorial to one of the greatest musicians and people of our time. His musical legacy can be relived through the compact disc in the exclusive presentation box.
