	Intermusica / Artists / James Ehnes / Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The young Canadian violinist James Ehnes brought phenomenal clarity to Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto, moving surefootedly even in passages where the starriest virtuosos slip and slide, yet was also sensitive to the fairy tale atmosphere in which the whole unfolds.
		The young Canadian violinist James Ehnes played with spellbinding intensity, shimmering magically to life with his opening solo, then digging into the scherzo's rough middle section with a relish that was both earthy and jaw-droppingly virtuosic.
		Ehnes, as always, deploys his virtuosity to musical ends that are governed by intelligence and a real feel for the music's style.

	James Ehnes’ Korngold, Barber, Walton: Violin Concertos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		We’ve got the Parker boys on piano, and Isabel Bayrakdarian on voice—so the CBC was clearly in need of a poster boy for violin to add to its roster.
		Ehnes holds nothing back in these heavy, passionate works, which ride the fine line between romanticism and sappiness, and he certainly has the chops for them.
		Of course, on a recording there’s the luxury of a second take; but there’s a chance to see how Ehnes pulls it off in the flesh when he performs the Barber concerto at the Orpheum this Saturday and Monday (November 4 and 6).

		This disc featuring Manitoba-born violinist James Ehnes (pronounced 'Ennis') confirms for me my suspicion that he is one of the best of the younger generation of violin soloists on the concert circuit.
		But Ehnes, accompanied here as in all three concerti by the superb Vancouver Symphony under Bramwell Tovey, is definitely in the same league as the others.
		The Walton is not, in its first two movements, as technically demanding as the Korngold or Barber, but it may be the most emotionally complex of the three; it does not do well in the hands of young and emotionally inexperienced violinists.

	Romantic Pieces :: James Ehnes and Eduard Laurel
		The piano introduces the second piece and the violin dramatically expands the sweep of large spaces (reminiscent of sections of the Moldau) where sprightly highlights of sunlight on water alternate with bold bravura strokes that shape the more rugged tones and shadowy features of the romantic landscape.
		Ehnes’ technically flawless rendition of the Dvorák selections stand with the fine recorded performances given them by the contemporary masters, Perlman, Zhou and Stern, and Laurel’s sympathetic playing suggests a lucid and convincing partnership.
		Ehnes’ violin adopts a smaller, more subdued voice, complaining in short phrases, repeated with slight variations, while Laurel’s left hand evokes darkening chords.
