An outstanding performance - a beautifully articulated, clean sound, reminiscent of Bach greats like Grumiaux. There are elements of Rabin as well, I agree. I heard Ehnes as a very young man years ago, and it was clear then he would go far, but this outstrips expectations. Wonderful deep musicianship!
He is brilliant!! I had the envious opportunity to study violin at the same time while growing up with him when he was ages 4 thru 10. He was brilliant then as well.
@rareviolintreasures thank you for the amazing collection of violin music. James Ehnes is no doubt the best violinist on the planet at this time. In a dvd called "homage" he showcases the very best violins in existance. A history of each violin and the most amazing view as well as interviews with James and DR. Fulton who owns this priceless collection of strads and guars and shared their beauty and sound with us all.each one has a different voice and James makes each one sing like an angel
Yes Kristof Barati plays beautifully too! I disagree with people that claim that there are no greats anymore. Listening to Ehnes I feel the future of violin playing is in good hands.

It could be the recording -but this is as pedestrian as one
could get -no colour to the sound -just bland one tone.
That he can play it is a given -but that's all/

I have listened to the Partitas played by perlman, hahn, milestein...and ehnes' masterpiece ranks right up there with them. Beautiful.

His Hungarian "alterego" is probably Kristof Barati. Check him here at YT.
