James had a hard time to comment on his monotonous tone through out, not listening to the piano, not able to have a conversation with the piano. Basically he has no shaping of the notes from the beginning of the theme, the sound quality was harsh. Very mechanical. James last sentence to "broaden your colour pallete" summarised it all.

...i didnt think this guy was a soloist - intonation, articulation, projection, just everything... leaves much to be desired if im being brutally honest

[@irisce2799]

James is trying very hard to translate "you need better intonation and sturdier bow" into a politically correct response. you can't really do anything else in a public masterclass. behind closed doors, with the old russian school of music professors, however..... I think Leonard needs some of that treatment to improve his sound quality.

James Ehnes' teaching reminds me of Jordan Peterson's podcasts. An hour of talking without teaching anything or pointing to the problem.
