For an international-caliber musician, James is a down-to-earth person. No arrogance, never conceited. He possesses heart of a saint, which is a rare find. But above all, his music is incredible. Top notch technical perfection all around. He can play Bach, to Beethoven, to Bartok, to Ysaye, all equally wonderful.
I can’t believe I just found out about this podcast and channel. As a university student in violin performance, I find all this very insightful and inspiring. Thank you so much
NOTHING in your mind is useful if your muscles are not prepared, trained to realize whats in your mind. Most of the times young people have very under developed muscles to be able to play the violin. And teachers tell them: relax, relax, relax, relax….
I think it's more to do with underdeveloped awareness. In the end muscles are a fairly small part of the story. There are some interesting insights from J. Ehnes there, too bad the host is so annoying.
@@NickBottom are you dreaming??? Did I USE the word SCALE or SEVCIK??? I dont do and dont recomend scales. Why do you put your own words on my fingers???show me WHERE did I say something like that??? You are just LYING. Go to a psychiatrist and show him or her your comment….b

@@NickBottom again….you insist….like everybody else.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 If you think scales and Sevcik are going to make you play like Ehnes, go for it. Good luck with that.

@@leonardoiglesias2394 I'm sure you're today's Heifetz. Maybe one day you'll grace us with videos of your heavenly playing. Until then, good luck.
