The greatest violinist of our time.
James and his Marsick Strad...a match made in heaven.
Ehnes è un magnifico atista : completo ed appassionato .
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.
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.
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.
I've seen him before, super nice artist.
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.
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.
Glorious music in a life enhancing performance.
That intense vibrato oh my God!!! ❤️ just perfect
I put James against anyone. He is fantastic!
Some of the most perfect playing around. This is a really long and hard piece. 👏
Gran violinista
He makes it sound so effortless and with the right amount of musicality, I love this rendition. Super fun to follow along with the sheet music!
How can he sound so good?
Klasse…!
I’ve seen him perform. In recent years he plays every thing much faster. Shows his facility but some performances are ridiculously fast.
🥰
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.
Bravo! English music which (notwithstanding the virtuosity required) shouldn't sound as if the soloist is showing off... Ehnes is superb at that.
I'll be the contrarian. The Elgar is a bit longwinded and dull. And like a lot of of other British music it can't stop sounding, well, British. James Ehnes is an exceptionally skilled and gifted violinist, but he never grabs me personally.
Should British music not sound, well, British? Should German music not sound German ? and even more so should Russian or Czech music not sound Russian or Czech ? This music is plainly not for you, but if you cannot recognise that Elgar poured his soul into this music thus creating one of the most emotional of all 20th century works, then I should stick to Czerny or Hanon
