A few days before his 13th birthday, Yehudi appeared in a demanding performance of three great concertos with the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Bruno Walter. The concert aroused such passion among the audience that management summoned the police to resore order. Albert Einstein came into the artists' room directly from the stage, hugged Yehudi and said "Now I know there is a God in heaven."
Lord Menuhin said, "All children have some gifts. But very few children have the good fortune to have the right background, the parents, the teachers, the opportunity, the encouragement, the love that I had."
