Hey i loved the cadenza personally. Rare that you hear a new/original cadenza anymore. Im not James Ehnes but I liked it 👏👏
Enjoyed very much.Movement reminded me of Over The River And Through The Woods. Nice apprapo selection for harsh winter.😅
Great masterclass!
Very fine playing by the student, lovely intonation, sound, stylish.
amazing mask🎉
Hard to believe some people just don’t get it!!😢
James had a hard time to comment on his monotonous tone through out, not listening to the piano, not able to have a conversation with the piano. Basically he has no shaping of the notes from the beginning of the theme, the sound quality was harsh. Very mechanical. James last sentence to "broaden your colour pallete" summarised it all.
...i didnt think this guy was a soloist - intonation, articulation, projection, just everything... leaves much to be desired if im being brutally honest
James is trying very hard to translate "you need better intonation and sturdier bow" into a politically correct response. you can't really do anything else in a public masterclass. behind closed doors, with the old russian school of music professors, however..... I think Leonard needs some of that treatment to improve his sound quality.
James Ehnes' teaching reminds me of Jordan Peterson's podcasts. An hour of talking without teaching anything or pointing to the problem.
Hardly....within 2 minutes he said various things, such as "you have a lot to say, but a lot of it is not getting out of this small circle, even in a room of this size. Make sure that you are always playing for the corners of the room" "sometimes the lines could be longer" "some interesting modulations...can you make more of them?" "think about the scope of the piece, creating longer units of energy" "play for me as if I'm standing way back there" "in a rondo, pick one of the times the theme comes back and make it important" I paraphrased a little bit. Fascinating suggestions, in my view.
Jordan Peterson is an obscurantist, with a PhD in word salads. James Ehnes makes myriad suggestions (some of which have been quoted by the commentator above) that may seem deliberately misleading because you're most likely an amateur who can't grasp what he's reaching for-big leap to attack somebody to soothe your own ego. Just because you don't understand what a quantum physicist is talking about because you barely passed high school physics doesn't make your lack of understanding the quantum physicist's fault, it's your lack of capability / ability.
@@user-zo1bg2gh7f Jimmy has recorded a fantastic rendition of Beethoven's violin Concerto and I highly recommend purchasing that recording if you can. But when It comes to the teaching we are talking about a very different standard.
Not every great performer can teach as well :)
Probably watch the last five minutes. I think more people will disagree with your assessment than not. He hit the nail on the head in regards to the student's sound production. The whole session, James was alluding to the idea that perhaps the student could produce a sound that carries, but the student couldn't quite grasp the idea clearly. Therefore, at the end, Mr. Ehnes had to make it abundantly clear that the student's articulation and tone quality needs work. If you couldn't pick up on that, then any words that a supposedly great teacher would bestow upon you would definitely fall on deaf ears.
Totally disagree
