About

Young Canadian violinist James Ehnes makes his debut on Onyx with this unique and very generous 79 minute coupling of the mid 20th century’s three most romantic Violin Concertos.

As one of Hollywood's busiest composers of film scores, Erich Korngold was at the top of his profession. His 1947 Violin Concerto turns inward to the lush melodies and plush orchestrations he knew so well from his work in the studios.

"Mr. Ehnes can really play," raved the New York Sun for his début with the New York Philharmonic in 2006, playing the Walton concerto: “Seldom will you hear such singing on a violin."

Reviews

It is an inspired coupling, as well as a generous one, having the Barber alongside two other high-romantic concertos together. Ehnes gives superb performances of all three, bringing out their full emotional thrust without vulgarity or exaggeration.
