1. Several sources state 1923 or 1924 as Ida Haendel's birth year. In the interview by Erika Habenicht she attributes the origin of this misunderstanding to her manager in 1937. While being in England at 9 years of age, short before a Sunday afternoon concert, someone said no child under 14 is allowed to work and therefore to perform on Sunday. In order to rescue her appearance her manager replied she was actually 14, and only for promotion reasons they tried to pass her off as being younger.

Ida Haendel was born in Chełm, a small city in Eastern Poland. She took up the violin at the age of three and as a seven-year-old was admitted at the Warsaw Conservatory. She later studied with Carl Flesch and George Enescu in Paris. During World War II she played in factories and for British and American troops. Her career developed after the end of World War II. Her autobiography, Woman with Violin, was published in 1970. She was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1991. Haendel has lived primarily in Miami, Florida for many years and is actively involved with the Miami International Piano Festival.
She has the reputation of being as accomplished and brilliant a violinist as Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern; but has said that had she been more photogenic, she would have been as famous.
Ida Haendel's recording of the Sibelius Concerto, with Paavo Berglund and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, is a highly acclaimed interpretation of that work.
Ida Haendel has said that she has always had a passion for German music.[6]. In 1948-49 she recorded Beethoven's Violin Concerto, with Rafael Kubelik conducting the Philarmonia Orchestra. In 1993 she had her concert début with the Berlin Philharmonic. Germany's female star virtuoso Anne-Sophie Mutter craves her opinions and Maxim Vengerov regards her with awe.
Other acclaimed recordings are her renditions of Brahms' Violin Concerto (including one with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sergiu Celibidache) and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the National Symphony Orchestra conducted Basil Cameron.
In June 2009 Haendel appeared on a Channel 4 television programme entitled The World's Greatest Musical Prodigies in which she advises 16 year old British composer Alexander Prior on which children to choose to play his composition.

Classmate niya si Miss Neveu when she was seven and Neveu was in her teens(si Mr. Flesch ang teacher).Parang big sis,little sis ang turingan nila sa isa't isa but Neveu died in her 30s due to plane crash.A big shock for her.

She is a remarkable artist. A friend of mine in Germany who works as the festival director for the Schlewig-Holstein Music Festival once told me that Ida Haendel possesses the zest and humor. :-)
I think she has a documentary sa youtube.

Napanood mu na yung performance niya by Sarasate? I forgot the title but it was glorious.
Usually I incline more to male violinists (no offense sa mga babae dito ha!)...but Ms. Ida Haendel is an exception!
Ang lush ng tone nya...parang ginigiling ka sa loob mu.
