British pianist
Jeremy Menuhin is the son of violinist
Yehudi Menuhin. He attended Eton College, and after graduation studied composition with
Nadia Boulanger, conducting with
Hans Swarowsky, and piano with Mindu Katz.
Menuhin performed with the
London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1966, and made his first recording on Angel Records with that orchestra in 1968, performing with his father and his aunts Hepzibah Menuhin and Yaltah Menuhin. A strained tendon caused him to cancel performances in the mid-1970s, but in 1984 he made his comeback in New York and won the Young Concert Artists Piano Competition. He has appeared with the
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the
English Chamber Orchestra, the
St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the
Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, the
Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, and the
Salzburg Mozarteum, among many others, though he has recorded most often as a chamber musician. His recording of
Bartók's violin sonatas with
Yehudi Menuhin appeared on the Adès label and won the Grand Prix du Disque.
