Russell Braun, Baritone, James Ehnes, Violin and Carolyn Maule, Piano give a live performance of selections from Bach, Beethoven and Paganini at Koerner Hall.

The fact that he's so relaxed makes me tense

[minitwitter]

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

[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.

[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.

[navindavoodi]

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

[isaacl.]

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

[robinelliott]

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.

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

[jacket]

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.

[serene]

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

[drseymour]

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.

[kakaobeans]

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

[YangSSing]

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

[Sam-nbrm]

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

[Maou]

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

[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*

[sebsubZz]

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

[ayhamshaheed]

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 💀

[kyliahkh]

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