    Ehnes has the pitch perfect intonation and scratchless and crystal clear tone and bow changes of Hahn, combined with the melodic mastery, resonance and sweet and powerful singing tone of Perlman, and more. My favourite interpreter of Bach by far.

      Have you heard Augustin Hadelich's interpretation? He uses a Baroque bow, and even aside from that his musical choices are exquisite

      No violinist has a comparison with another, each one has his way of interpreting, essence and magic, that is the beauty of music.

    I live in the UK. When I go to concerts even by orchestras of the highest caliber, I get nervrous whenever there is an exposed brass section. Then I go to any random German village and attend a Sunday concert, it always feels so secure. That is the feeling James Ehnes leaves on me. It's satisfying.

    Bravo. Simply Bravo.
    I intend the highest compliment when I say that I’ve never heard such playing since Szeryng. Respect at the highest level. Technically precise while completely lyrical, playing every phrase to fit perfectly in the overall line.
    I’ve played these pieces all my life, and I can’t play them like that, at least not live (I transcribed them for wind instruments), but I know every nuance, every phrase and every ambiguous hemiola (4th mvt.) and I just have to say I’ve never heard anyone who can play at this level, perhaps except for Szeryng. I’m blown away.

    First-rate performance! Ehnes's technique is so solid, and his musicianship so thoughtful and sensitive, that he gets out of the way of the music-it is not about him, it is about this brilliant treasure of Bach's creation-and that is the highest achievement to which a musician might aspire. The performance of the Fugue is especially superb. And for Ehnes's performance of the Gigue, I have but one word: _gorgeous_ !

    What I absolutely love about Ehnes, aside from the obvious mastery of the instrument, is his honesty in playing. He doesn't try to cut corners with cheap frills or to hide imperfections in superficial rubatos. And despite this unadorned approach, it is breathtaking in conception and execution. He chisels a masterpiece perfectly. I am even hesitant to call it virtuosity because in Bach's music that's not what one strives for.
