Both from the AP. Wed Jan 29, 6:19 PM ET ------------------ SISTER BAY, Wis. - John Browning, a Grammy-winning pianist who performed professionally for six generations, died Sunday. He was 69. His style was reserved, elegant and penetrating, more intellectual than overtly emotional yet eminently approachable. Browning was born to musical parents in Denver in 1933. Having studied piano from the age of 5, he appeared as a soloist with the Denver Symphony at 10. His family moved to Los Angeles in 1945. He spent two years at Occidental College, then began his studies at the Juilliard School beginning in 1950. He stole the spotlight in 1956 with a silver medal in the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition in Brussels. He made his professional orchestral debut with the New York Philharmonic the same year. Browning gave the premiere of Samuel Barber's Pulitzer Prize-winning Piano Concerto in 1962, which was written for him, in connection with the opening of Lincoln Center. His second recording of the work, with Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony in 1991, won a Grammy for best instrumental soloist with orchestra. Mr. Browning won a second Grammy in 1993. ------------------ LONDON (AP) - Diana Menuhin, who gave up a promising ballet career to devote her life to her husband, violin maestro Yehudi Menuhin, died Jan. 25. She was 90. Devoted, supportive - and sometimes acerbic - Lady Menuhin was the ideal foil for the dreamy, otherworldly genius of her husband and became the guardian of his formidable talent. Observers believe that without her, Yehudi Menuhin, who died in 1999, never would have become a global musical force or a champion of artistic and humanitarian causes. Born Diana Gould in London, she joined Marie Rambert's new ballet school in Notting Hill at the age of 9. She danced for Ramberts, the Vic-Wells Ballet troupe, George Ballanchine's Ballets and the Markova-Dolin Ballet. When the Arts Theatre Ballet was formed in 1940, she became its leading dancer, and worked on the London stage throughout World War II. She married Yehudi Menuhin in London in 1947. - seb
