What a great violinist James is,and with a Titanic understanding of the violin in all its glory. I do not know of any other violinist who has reflected so clearly the magical quality which seemingly lays in this wonderful instrument.

Wonderful playing; it's really nice to hear him share his thoughts.

Also, couldn't help but notice that his sweater matches the tree haha.

[mikesmith007x]

His control of bow speed to dig out the right sounds and emotions at the just the right moments is simply astounding.

I saw him perform the Tchaikovsky with the Cleveland Orchestra years ago: earth-shattering.

[actionlaser26]

@mareoraft haha its actually one of those parts that just sound hard, but aren't really that hard to play. james ehnes is awesome!

I saw him play at the SF about a year ago - he was phenomenal - just walked out on stage, played the Scottish Fantasy from memory (i think that's what it was). It was one of the most amazing solo violin performances ever I was blown away.

[Runescape28]

I heard him play the Korngold concerto with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra...and the next day he gave a masterclass at my school...got to shake his hand :)

[cazam]

I got to see Ehnes play this piece at Blossom Music Center with the Cleveland Orchestra. And, I got to meet him afterward and he signed my 24 Caprices CD. I keep it in my violin case for good luck. Ehnes is amazing.
