About

This quite outstanding Violin Concerto was recorded live in May 2007 at two performances given during the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Elgar series under the direction of reknowned Elgarian Sir Andrew Davis.

Andrew Davis has performed the Violin Concerto with many players over the years (though this is his first recording of it) and maintains that James Ehnes’ is the finest of them – “he actually plays what Elgar wrote – and so musically!” And Classical Source wrote: “inspired a newly refreshed love for a familiar work. His intonation was impeccable, his control of the differing emotional elements was impressive and the end was truly magnificent, a fitting climax to a memorable interpretation." (17 May 2007)

Recorded live and at rehearsals at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London 17 and 20 May 2007.
