'When he was four they bought him a toy violin. It was made of tin and when it screeched he just destroyed it...'

Today, Yehudi Menuhin is 60 and to celebrate the occasion he talks to David Attenborough about his life from the early years in America up to the present day. The programme also includes the recollections of members of his family and of his friends and ends with a performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto in G major (K 216).
