James and his Marsick Strad...a match made in heaven.
James Ehnes is now my favourite violinist. I always go when he's in my area, or somewhere relatively close. I know I'll be getting complete perfection in sound and execution. There's just never so much as a single hair out of place. His encores of Bach, particularly, are worth taking in on their own. Plus he's good-looking.
James is wonderful. Such a balanced and tasteful sound. Blend of the violin playing of the past with a new flair.
The beauty of the world in every andante I hear 🎻
The woodwinds in these Scandinavian orchestras often sound so sweet and beguiling without a sharp ugly attack to the note, almost like good string playing.
Ehnes' dynamic between almost inaudibly quiet and slow on the one hand and extremely spirited on the other is great. I've never heard that before.
Ehnes` Dynamik zwischen fast unhörbar leise und langsam einerseits und äußerst temperamentvoll andererseits ist großartig. Habe ich so noch nie gehört.
The greatest violinist of our time.
Not with a shoulder rest, he isn't.
@@daniel3231995 Shoulder rest does not define a performer as a great artist or not... This comment of yours makes no sense.
Ehnes è un magnifico atista : completo ed appassionato .
I've seen him before, super nice artist.
You can really tell Mr. Ehnes has a great love for this piece. He is so heartfelt with the phrasings yet technically superb in every way! Thank you so much for uploading.
Glorious music in a life enhancing performance.
Gran violinista
That intense vibrato oh my God!!! ❤️ just perfect
Thank you, again, James, for more unforgettable music. The Elgar is a tour de force violin piece that needs a devoted and brilliant player such as you to give such a wonderful performance.
Some of the most perfect playing around. This is a really long and hard piece. 👏
Just wow! Too fab for words! I've heard it hundreds of times, but this is really special. Bravissimi galore!
He makes it sound so effortless
How can he sound so good?
Klasse…!
Definitely one of my favourite modern violinists. Tone, subtlety as well as some hard to put into words other quality, maybe sort of...elegance?
I’ve seen him perform. In recent years he plays every thing much faster. Shows his facility but some performances are ridiculously fast.
James Ehnes is such a good violinist. It’s my dream to be able to play as well as him. I wish he was a little bit more creative with his interpretations though
🥰
Did not Ehnes play this at this year's BBC Proms? Anyway that was superb. Thanks James.
No, it was Christian Tetzlaff who did and really quite badly. One of the worst performances I have ever heard of the piece and of anything Tetzlaff has played or attempted to play himself. I heard a graduate student, taking under Kathleen Winkler, at Rice play this in 2010 and much better than over the air I just also recently heard Tetlzaff. Sorry.
Aldo Ferraresi e Argenio!!!
fresh breeze.
Bravo! English music which (notwithstanding the virtuosity required) shouldn't sound as if the soloist is showing off... Ehnes is superb at that.
