How the hell do you play a piece that intense and not slip up ONE note????...legend.

He knocks off this piece as if it was nothing! Unbelievable! Maybe he was Paganini in a previous life.
-
i believe he is the greatest living violinist...
-
Can anyone explain to me why one hears so little about this incredible artist? He is just amazing, but on Amazone I find hardly any cd...and even on youtube there is hardly any material about him.

This is the kind of contemporary violinist I'd love to see at the Queen Elizabeth competition. Taste, articulation, big sound, and an understanding of what tension means in violin performance (the raised thumb here is crucial). The only thing I didn't quite appreciate was the high Bb at 1:17, which stuck out a bit. I was also disappointed that he didn't do anything with the sequence at at 1:21 - 1:24, but in terms of the psychology of performance I get it.

@iRingoDrums Nice! She must have succombed to a masochistic temptation. The horror, the horror!

Hands born to the cello - so beautifly suited to economy of motion, may one day spin marvels in maturity on the viola. Stunning really...
I think James is in the running for greatest violinist in the world.
