The Ida Haendel, CBE (born 15 December 1928[1][2]) is a British violinist of Polish birth.Born in 1928 to a traditional Polish Jewish family in Chełm, Eastern Poland, her prodigious talents were evident when she picked up her father’s violin at the age of three. Major competition wins paved the way for success. Performing the Beethoven Violin Concerto, she won the Warsaw Conservatory [3] Gold Medal and the first Huberman Prize in 1933. At the age of seven she competed against towering virtuosos – the likes of Oistrakh and Neveu – to become a laureate of the first Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in 1935.[4] These accolades enabled her to study with the esteemed pedagogues Carl Flesch in London and George Enescu in Paris. During World War II she played in factories and for British and American troops. In 1937 her London debut under the baton of Sir Henry Wood brought her worldwide critical acclaim, and began a lifelong association with The Proms, where she has appeared 68 times.[5]Performing careerThroughout her life Ida Haendel has made annual tours of Europe, and also appeared regularly in South America and Asia. Living in Montreal from 1952 to 1989, her collaborations with Canadian orchestras made her a key celebrity of Canadian musical life. Performing with the London Philharmonic in 1973, she was the first Western soloist invited to China following the Cultural Revolution.[6] Although her name is particularly associated with that of the spirited direction of Sergiu Celibidache, she has also played with names such as Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Adrian Boult, Sir Eugene Goosens, Sir Malcolm Sargent, Charles Munch, Otto Klemperer, Sir Georg Solti,Vladimir Ashkenazy , Bernard Haitink, Rafael Kubelík and Simon Rattle.In 1993 she had her concert début with the Berliner Philharmoniker. In 2006 she performed for Pope Benedict XVI at the former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Later engagements include a tribute concert at London's National Gallery in honour of Dame Myra Hess's War Memorial Concerts, an appearance at the Sagra Musicale Malatestiana Festival in 2010, and a performance of Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in Miami with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.Ida Haendel has lived in Miami for many years and is actively involved in the Miami International Piano Festival.[7] Ida Haendel is represented by Patrons of Exceptional Artists.Forthcoming engagements include a return to London in 2013 where she will give a masterclass at the Royal College of Music and a concert at the Cadogan Hall.RecordingsHer major label recordings have earned critical praise, particularly her performance of the Sibelius Concerto which elicited a fan letter from its composer: ‘I congratulate you on the great success, but most of all I congratulate myself, that my concerto has found an interpreter of your rare standard’. The Sibelius Society awarded her the Sibelius Medal in 1982.Ida Haendel has said that she has always had a passion for German music.[8] Her recording career began on 10 September 1940 for Decca, initially of short solo pieces and chamber works. In April 1945, she recorded both the Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn concertos followed in 1947 by the Dvořák concerto. Her recording career spans nearly 70 years for major labels including EMI and Harmonia Mundi. In 1948-49 she recorded Beethoven's Violin Concerto, with Rafael Kubelik conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra. Other acclaimed recordings are her renditions of the Brahms Violin Concerto (including one with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sergiu Celibidache) and Tchaikovsky's with the National Symphony Orchestra conducted Basil Cameron.[9]She is renowned for her distinguished interpretations of the classical violin repertoire, yet is equally passionate about the music of the 20th century, including Béla Bartók, Benjamin Britten and William Walton. Among her premiere performances have been Luigi Dallapiccola's Tartiniana Seconda, and Allan Pettersson's Violin Concerto No. 2, which was dedicated to her. Paying special tribute to her teacher George Enescu, her Decca recording of his Violin Sonata with Vladimir Ashkenazy in 2000 earned her a Diapason d'Or.TeachingHaendel's highly emotive performances have inspired a generation of new violinists: Anne-Sophie Mutter, Maxim Vengerov and David Garrett regard her with awe.[10] Her masterclasses attract many of the finest up-and-coming talent.
