[@Hoxgene]

The fact that he's so relaxed makes me tense

[@blogout412]

ahahahah

[@ricardomeza5016]

Bah, you're so fool

[@yaneejourdain]

😂 whaaaat ???

[@DanTaninecz]

Beta blockers my dude.

[@jeongminchi6440]

That's exactly what I feel~

[@minitwitter]

He plays perfection. All he needs is a long hair wig that resembles Paganini.

[@ahmedhabeeeb]

LOL :D

[@PRO_Streaming]

The best then of Paganini was Jascha Heifetz kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHGn3qonsqSla8 Enjoy it!

[@blogout412]

No :)

[@SavyoMouraOFC]

No.

[@beezowdoodoozopittybopbopb5553]

And a long horse face 😂😂😂

[@lalchhandami]

Probably the cleanest caprice 24 i have listen

[@Humbersox]

I was blessed to hear this performance live with my family. I have never forgotten it but James Ehnes is such a very special human being in addition to be such a joy to listen to playing the violin.

[@glenngouldschair390]

Runor is the violin caught on fire right afterwards, and that Ehnes switched and played Chopin’s 2nd piano concerto on the piano. Am I correct?

[@AlbanZap]

This playing is so incredibly flawless, compared to most renditions which often have a few mistakes (no judgement it's a bloody technical piece), but this one is perfection.

[@billytragyu4679]

There were mistakes here. And BIG mistake at 3:00

[@AlbanZap]

Billy Tragyu nope, no mistake at 3:00.

[@billytragyu4679]

AlbanZap He completely missed the string pluck. That's why you can year a chuckling in the audience

[@Hi-ke1kn]

He didn't miss it, he just plucked the string softly. As for the audience's laughter I'm not sure but most likely it's because they enjoyed that part.

[@toddwilkins8177]

There was no mistake. I was at the concert, and the string pluck was was as clear as daylight in the hall. The reason as to why people were chuckling in the audience was because it it was executed perfectly.

[@serene3461]

Ooooo that left hand pizzacato was beautiful 🥺 I can die happy now

[@navindavoodi6065]

James Ehnes is such a well-rounded violinist that it scares me.

[@mikekushnir3950]

When you want to here a reference recording, you listen to James Ehnes. His precision and accuracy are unmatched.

[@eunminwootang]

OMG so much grace with timing! Not many take enough time

[@isaacl.5958]

i play cello and with this sound coming from a violin and the musician himself is astonishing

[@robinelliott5365]

James Ehnes is the Violin God. Such a pure, distinctive style, with absolutely perfect technique and consummate musicianship. To hear him play the Bach Chaconne live (on two different occasions) has been my ultimate concert going experience. The notes, the violin, the man, and the concert hall all disappeared; all that was left was the most pure music making I have ever witnessed. Yes, it was Bach himself that was in the hall.

[@tedviolafire]

I remember seeing him in Seattle years ago. Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. No matter how loud the Symphony played, I could hear every solo note clear as a bell!

[@jacket3999]

I can’t help but imagine Paganini playing this to an audience, way back in the 1800’s. Blows my mind. This is so perfectly done. Blows my mind.

[@drseymour123]

I have been a hardcore heavy-as-F metal fan all my life (Pantera, Lamb of God), and this man and his violin have made me cry like a baby. What a beautiful sound. Wow.

[@DTempe]

It gets better each time I watch it!

[@YangSSing]

I love this playing! The most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. He plays caprice 24 like a river flow.

[@bobcote3759]

Muzyka nieziemska, chociaż opisująca dźwiękami ludzkie zachowania: radość, gniew, nostalgię, furię i podobnych wiele.

[@kakaobeans5913]

as a semi violinist, i can tell this piece was etched into his head probable as a child. major respect

[@Sam-nb1rm]

This is the best version I have ever heard! Brilliant ! 👍🏻

[@laurlo]

when they raid area 51 and go in to the basement they’re just gunna find this guy cuz hes *out of this world*

[@armandinc3051]

true

[@Maou3]

Love this song. Probably 5,000,000th time listening. Look at those fingers dou.

[@VaishnavaZ]

Ehnes, Kavakos et Hahn are my favorite players.

[@themusiccovenant]

Legendary violinist

[@Choadeymcgriff]

Fantastic interpretation! James' playing and phrasing is so elegant-nothing overplayed or schmaltzy.

[@kyliahkh]

I enjoy this style. He's calm too. I can only wish to be this perfect.

[@sebsubZz]

2:25 how does he do it? it destroys my sound if press so hard with my bow :/

[@WhippperSnaperater]

It looks like his bow is over his finger board there so try that maybe? As far as I know as a cellist, bowing closer to the bridge produces a better sound when you press extremely hard.

[@XErdbeereisXcreamX]

Sebastiaan Kulwanowski I think it's just like when you play piano, where you move closer/ over the fingerboard to create a lighter tone. you shouldn't press hard with your bow, try that :)

[@n.r.4371]

extreme pressure close to the fingerboard with a high bow speed

[@geofflo2108]

Magnificent Bravo Superb Astonishing These are the four adjectives to describe the performance...UTTERLY OVERPOWERED! :)

[@violinhunter2]

Incredible playing - as always. One of the top three fiddlers in the world he is.

[@AZ1306AZ]

I saw Ehnes in Sydney Opera House playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto. Incredible!

[@bancellsgerard]

Extraordinaire!!

[@user-kn9rs2ct4l]

His world is our world. KING JAMES👑 He doesn’t need any side players.

[@ayhamshaheed7740]

Learnt the first page of this with my violin teacher when I was like twelve. Thought it was easy. Until a few years ago when I learnt there was more than just 1 page to it 💀

[@ifelipedeveloper]

Paganini estava colocando para fora o que sentia com esta música!

[@k.ggasowscy321]

King of music.

[@Ralph85Williams85]

Perfection in motion.

[@IgnacioMartin]

Perfection

[@edwardcuhaci6168]

Excellent performance

[@LiviuPrunaru]

Extraordinary!!!!

[@punkassparker]

2:44 best part

[@MrKalungkong]

This is why he plays a strad

[@SandyNestaArenita]

Demasiado encantador

[@heathcliffd9179]

Amazing!!!

[@likeargamanflaming940]

Speechless

[@camillebouchard6436]

Thank !

[@thomastobian7997]

GENIUS!!

[@Fisuki29]

This is Too Awesome...

[@Lengo67]

This man is a virtuoso! You spell that, J a m e s E h n e s.

[@medigiorgio9637]

I came here because of Golden Child's performance at Road To Kingdom. They sampled this piece in one of their songs

[@Sheepfarmer01]

Brilliant!

[@iusedtobe6837]

Love the 24th

[@mig6953]

This was the song that got me into violin

[@jdelaplaya9678]

A beauty I could never attain yet brave and flawed in equal amounts

[@glenngouldschair390]

I could never get close to it. I’m a pianist.

[@giodiacqua]

Bravo 🌹

[@gabrieljames5633]

Really Good...

[@willydion1003]

Bravo!!

[@alejandronarvaez9806]

Plucking left hand pizzicato in the g string to the opposite side, intresting

[@dpkroon]

wow...you just don't get better than that!!!

[@haniyehiaaboultaif8288]

Doug P i think heifetzs is better..

[@kerlandia9636]

maravilhoso

[@e483jpj2]

IT' S VERY COOL

[@diamondsoun]

Так аккуратно играет,вообще чётко,супер.

[@Lengo67]

And here I thought that Paganini was a kind of bread that Jack-n-the-Box put one of their sandwiches on!

[@krishnamoorthyiyer8805]

This piece is Clemency Burton-Hill's suggestion for April 25 in her book "Classical Music Year of Wonder"

[@diodemian]

An impasse: what is more wonderful, the music or the musician?

[@Lengo67]

Good question! The answer is yes.

[@grobanite4ever85]

Both

[@Humbersox]

truth

[@blogout412]

the music... no impasse ;)

[@sweetcentipede9292]

yes

[@eetfuk4664]

to stand there on your own and play that is so insane to me. i was nervous just playing some minor stuff in an orchestra.

[@soufimohamed6810]

Damn that's nice

[@knight590wathevah]

I. Loved. This. Recommend me more pieces like this, please ;-; Please!!

[@alexsimmons8953]

Bazzini: Ronde des Lutins, Wieniawski Etude Caprice, Paganini Caprice no5, no 10, Ysaye: Ballade. Those are just a few for solo violin. If you want to move to the bigger rep, I'd recommend to start listening to Tchaikovsky violin concerto, or the Mendelssohn Violin concerto.

[@iusedtobe6837]

Brahms to!

[@user-ur1zi2qt3l]

와우! !👍🏻

[@piotr-id8wy]

wow nice

[@XuEdward]

I actually "woow!" 'ed out loud at home at 3:00 with the audience

[@sneddypie]

They wwere actually laughing not wowing.

[@BassRai]

Without the piano it sounds really different, and the musician makes it wonderful!

[@SBVCP]

0:43 moreles i think you kinda nailed but beside that ypu are amazingn

[@loredanalory15]

[@BradWest96]

[@user-bi3ol7ex2u]

[@lalagurbanova2531]

💙

[@cbcmusic]

[@jarleypiotrtchaikovsky]

stradivari!

[@jacquehohenheim7934]

Tenaya: Be honest! Leading me in here, tricking me into using the mirror-how much of it was your doing? Doctor K: All of it *begins playing this masterpiece*

[@enereidamone3223]

is he really human being?????

[@yaneejourdain]

Ling ling syndrome

[@shulmusicomnibus]

2:25 is the best

[@HilbertXVI]

Liszt's transcription of this for the piano is fantastic too

[@ZILLIALESSANDRO]

Porca miseria! Che perfezione!

[@arcanaperu]

HE MAKES A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL !!!

[@raimondomura6316]

why am I still playing violin?

[@GianbattistMartin]

Hayran kaldım...

[@KevinCloudQAQ]

The cleanest reminds of Milstein

[@DanielYoo]

James Ehnes

[@burritobowl0190]

Searched caprice on 24's. Pleasantly suprised

[@ThisIsNotKal]

I actually know of this piece because i watch power rangers rpm when im a kid and decide to find out what the piece they play there is.

[@tonyfeuerhelm]

Recently I realized all classical music I'm familiar with are soundtracks from Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd cartoons from the 1940's.

[@mhis-202europeanmusichisto6]

Left-hand pizzicati at 2:45!

[@prashant2868]

I heard this tune in power rangers rpm.

[@chris93703]

I am not an expert on the violin but the crowd emitted a noticeable "aw" around 3:00. I assume this was a very technically demanding section of the piece?

[@veidhleadoir]

1:31

[@landenwang62309]

i have a friend who can play this song and he's only played violin for a year and I was like, wtf what kind of alien world are you from

[@cbcmusic]

Would ALSO love to know what alien world he's from! You have a talented friend!

[@alicanersin4614]

Is there any record of Ehnes playing caprice 17 ??

[@aidentheabsurd]

Alican Ersin Yes there is! Look for James Ehnes 24 caprices. I'm sure that you will find a recording!

[@allenqueen]

This person looks similar to the person who played Rachael Green's boss in Ralph Lauren's in the TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

[@hamzakais1762]

Holy fuck

[@allenqueen]

So many classical pieces that I(and many people) have heard but don't know the name of.. I think the creators of it are not getting credit if people don't recognise who made the song.How can this be fixed?
