Sure to be one of the outstanding recordings for Elgar anniversary year, this quite outstanding Violin Concerto was recorded live in May at two performances given during the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Elgar series under the direction of outstanding Elgarian Sir Andrew Davis.

Davis has performed the Violin Concerto with many players over the years (though this is his first recording of it) and maintains that Ehnes’ is the finest of them – “he actually plays what Elgar wrote – and so musically!”

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."

とても誠実な演奏で、またまろやかで甘やかな音色という印象を受けました。過剰にテンポをゆらし過ぎたりする事も無く、力強さもありながら安定感があり、比較的折り目正しく、ひとつひとつを丁寧に演奏している感じがします。とても好感度大な、演奏です。甘さがありながら説得力のある2楽章、聴き所です。

この長大なヴァイオリンコンチェルト、現代エルガーのスペシャリスト、アンドリュー・デイヴィスとフィルハーモニアの好サポートを得て、エーネス、悠久、柔然に奏でています。お見事、いいです、心落ち着きます。Onyx　の企画、録音もよろしい、ライヴというのも◎。肩ひじ張らず、緊張感ありますが、素直に音楽に接していて好演。
