I knew James Ehnes at Meadowmount in the summer of 1992. Everyone was telling me of a legendary performance he had given the year before, playing this piece. He had TEN curtain calls! TEN. He played Sibelius Concerto the summer I knew him, and aside from one slip-up, my mouth was on the floor the entire time-I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
I was in a cocerto when he played that sonata as a second encore and it was crazy all the hall was in a complete silence because is absolutely promfnce I never was in a concert like that I was speechless
Side observation ...I have never listened to a really good performance without someone coughing in the background and i heard about 6 coughs so this was clearly a really good performance.
People just don't know how to cough with their mouths closed. In Vancouver it was especially bad. Sometimes it's the people who come to the concert just because there's a famous person playing and they just want to say they've been to the concert. True music afficionados have learned how not to cough.
The performance is masterful! Well done maestro! The song is garbage! Absolute shit! I'm so sick of nonsensical music. It's worse being a violist and being told to study Hindemith.
I just saw him play this live as an encore. Absolutely unbelievable, I forgot to breathe. He is ridiculous
To play this piece with such clarity and feeling is insane, bravo to James Ehnes!
I love how calm he is and explosion in the end 👌👌👌

2:15 love how he emphasised the double stops, other versions run quite fast there but missed the beauty of it
This has to be the highest number of coughs I've heard in 7 mins.

There are no words to express how incredible this is. I’ve heard this piece many times but this is outstanding!!
Mr. James Ehnes, please record all 6 sonatas please. Really clean,

Great performance!
Beautiful tone, profound interpretation, and particularly I admire his perfect technique.
それに、ハンサム、上品❣️
素敵過ぎます。😭😭😭😭😭💖
Wow! That may be the best rendition of this piece that I have ever heard! And it was live! Amazing.
Amazing!👍👍👍
Que perfección, se entienden todas las frases completamente; gracias James Ehnes👏🏻👏🏻
Perfect technique, musicality, and artistry. The zenith of human culture right here.
Absolutely and utterly amazing and incredible performance I’ve ever heard. Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 James.
Perfect, everything is so in tune and clean. Very different from Vengerov, I think I like this version better musically.
Side observation ...I have never listened to a really good performance without someone coughing in the background and i heard about 6 coughs so this was clearly a really good performance.
what a performance! I love his style with the bow sticked to the strings. Unique.
His existence is MIRACLE ❣️
if you look closely you can see actual lightning sparking from him at the end
Beautiful combination of fast and slow, aggresive and soft
You have done it again sir. Bravo
Holy lord. Stunning performance
After twoset recommended Vengerov Ysaye, im here coz they say James Ehnes is good :3
He is! Incredible all-round and almost every recording of his hits the mark wonderfully :)
more than perfect!
This is just magnificient!
Bravo, 🎻👏
This is pure gold
Great and so clean!
briliant playing
0:05 Lento molto sostenuto
2:19 Allegro in tempo giusto e con bravura
Striking performance! So exquisite! Thank you.
最高❣️
I am just like that lady 07:00 😂👏
彼は本当に天才。
天才には、そう生まれた訳が有るのかも。
彼はどんなお役目を背負って生まれたのかしらん？
人それぞれにお役目があるざましょ？
天才バカボン、凄いね。
Nailed it? No, nuked it. The best. What a performance
Thank you ! 4:05
He is the best violinist all over the world.
AMAZING.❤️
Bravo!!!

I would sooner die than cough out loud like that like wtf?! I’m be there turning red with tears
The worst are the people who cough in the quiet moments. No, sir, that's not your entry.
mega. the sonatas are out and they are mega.

bravo..
That look on the Orquestra player's face at the beginning
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Where was this recorded?
Can anyone tell me which orchestra he's playing with here?
Look at that asian lady of second violin shaking her head starting from 6:33.
2:19
I can tell by the orchestra members that this is in Detroit 😄
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💯
anyone here for twoset and leaving again bc there’s no twoset comment?
btw good performance!
nice username
Is that mr. Bean sitting in the background??
The person who coughed scares me
他の方々の演奏を聞けなくなりました。
Ysaye is so colorful
The suit and tie always makes him seem a little uptight and preppy haha
Yes, he looks like he works at an office but is instead an amazing violinist. Maybe he's trying to bamboozle everyone.
@@mariedagoult1 Haha! Great assessment.
Although unbelievably smooth I think in this particular piece a much more harsh and edgy playstyle is much more fitting.
Respectfully no
gee.... 1/4 the hall full of terminal TB patients
What is with the coughing? This is a terrible audience. Where is he playing?
It's always old Boomers hacking and ruining the vibe!
На премию изаи
is this comment in Russian or Hebrew
@tom no I meant why is his comment Russian and his name Hebrew
Vengerov best
Too much noise in the audience! Please have a little respect.
The performance is masterful! Well done maestro! The song is garbage! Absolute shit! I'm so sick of nonsensical music. It's worse being a violist and being told to study Hindemith.

Really clean isn't good enough.
I agree, fortunately this performance is so much more than just really clean.
Bravo!!!
