普罗科菲耶夫小提琴奏鸣曲 豆瓣
James Ehnes (violin) / Wendy Chen (piano)
出版发行: ANALEKTA fleurs de lys
普罗科菲耶夫的作曲风格从俄罗斯帝政末期的现代主义,到社会主义时期的写实手法,可谓务实而又多变的现代作曲家之一。他为小提琴所写的作品,包括两首著名的协奏曲、两首为小提琴和钢琴所作的奏鸣曲(作品Op.80与Op.94)、C大调双小提琴奏鸣曲、D大调无伴奏奏鸣曲,以及两首未完成的奏鸣曲。
《f小调第一小提琴奏鸣曲》(Op.80)作于1938至1946年间,此曲以18世纪巴洛克奏鸣曲的形式作为全曲的架构,运用独特的音乐语法和尖锐的和声音响,巧妙地将两个不同世纪的写作手法融合在一起。《D大调小提琴奏鸣曲》(Op.94bis)则是普罗科菲耶夫接受了小提琴家欧伊斯特拉赫的意见,改编自1943年所作的长笛奏鸣曲。这两首作品都是题献给好友欧伊斯特拉赫的。收录于本片中的《五首旋律》(Op.35bis),则改编自1920年的声乐作品。

Works for Violin and Piano, Vol. 1 豆瓣
James Ehnes / Andrew Armstrong 类型: 古典
发布日期 2011年1月1日 出版发行: Chandos
This is the second volume in a series devoted to the works for strings by Béla Bartók, with James Ehnes the featured soloist. Earlier this year, Ehnes recorded the Violin and Viola Concertos (CHAN 10690), which was made Disc of the Month in Gramophone magazine. On this new recording, he turns to the Violin Sonatas and Rhapsodies, complemented by the earliest surviving work by Bartók for violin and piano, an Andante. He is accompanied by the pianist Andrew Armstrong.

Dedicated to the Hungarian violinist Adila d’Arányi, the sonatas for violin and piano were composed in 1921 – 22, around the same time as the highly successful ballet score The Miraculous Mandarin. Of the two works, the Sonata in C sharp minor is the more traditional in terms of its structure, and characterised by a mood that is sometimes exhilarated, sometimes turbulent – but always virtuosic. The finale builds from a series of increasingly wild dances, folk-like in style but entirely expressionistic.

In the Sonata in C major, Bartók removes himself from classical form and traditional tonal practice, calling on the violinist to distance himself from the romantic manner of playing. At several points, for example, the violin is played without vibrato, producing an ethereally cool and distant sound. The improvisatory character is strong throughout, as the work repeatedly alternates between the quiet and thoughtful, and the stormy and strident. The ending, in contrast to the earlier sonata, is understated, emotional, and expressive.

Bartók’s two rhapsodies for piano and violin, dedicated respectively to Joseph Szigeti and Zoltán Székely, are steeped in the tradition of Hungarian folk music. Exuberant and infectious, the works are heavily inspired by the csárdás, the national dance of Hungary, and display the traditional pairing of lassú (slow) and friss (lively) movements.

Bartók: Violin Concertos Nos 1 and 2; Viola Concerto – James Ehnes, BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda
Hailed as ‘the Jascha Heifetz of our day’ (The Globe and Mail, Canada), the violinist James Ehnes is widely considered one of the most dynamic and exciting performers in classical music, appearing regularly with the world’s finest orchestras and conductors. Accompanied here by the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda, he is the soloist in Bartók’s two violin concertos, in which he plays the ‘Marsick’ Stradivarius of 1715, as well as in the viola concerto, performing on the ‘Rolla’ Giuseppe Guadagnini viola of 1793, on loan from the Fulton Collection.
‘These three concertos are among the most striking examples of Bartók’s early, middle, and late periods, each showing a very different side of one of the great musical voices of all time; they are among my very favourite pieces to perform’.

2008 GRAMMY AWARD
2008 JUNO AWARD
2007 WESTERN CANADIAN MUSIC AWARD
Considered an extraordinary release by critics and audiences around the world, James Ehnes’s recording of the violin concertos by Barber, Korngold and Walton with Bramwell Tovey and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra swept the award season, winning the 2008 GRAMMY Award, JUNO Award, and Western Canadian Music Award.
The recording is available in Canada and US on the CBC Records label and worldwide on the Onyx Classics label.
One of the "100 CDs You Must Own" and “My Pick of 2007”
Classic FM's David Mellor
"In all three concertos, James Ehnes proves that he is one of today's most talented violinists. His tone soars and sings like a human voice -- this is violin playing of the highest class. He brings out the nostalgic, hyper-emotional melodies of the Korngold without straying into over-sentimentality, as well as the often cheeky virtuoso brilliance of Walton's concerto with equal aplomb. His innate sense of rhythm and timing, and spot-on intonation almost make you forget he's playing an instrument, so clear and direct is his expression of the music."
Classic FM's David Mellor
"James Ehnes gives superb performances, bringing out their full emotional thrust without vulgarity or exaggeration. His playing has always been impressive on disc, but here he excels himself in expressive range as well as the tonal beauty, with expressive rubato perfectly controlled. An outstanding disc in every way."
(Gramophone February 2007)
"James Ehnes is the finest violinist of his generation and these superb concerto recordings are all the proof I need to make that statement. Lush tone, flawless technique and personality to burn make this one of the finest recordings of the year."
(WRR, December 2006)
"All three composers tested a soloist's virtuosity, particularly Samuel Barber in the "presto in moto perpetuo" that forms the short but fiendish finale to his concerto; nor was Walton any slouch in the demands he made in the "presto capriccioso alla napolitana" at the centre of the concerto that he wrote on the Amalfi coast. Mediterranean warmth as well as caprice radiates from Ehnes's performance, and in the other two concertos he gets right to the heart of the music's temperament, nostalgic but with spirited uplift as well. The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra does him proud in establishing vibrant, complementary support. This is a must-have disc."

Bartók: Works for Violin & Piano, Sonatas & Folk Dances 豆瓣
James Ehnes / Andrew Armstrong 类型: 古典
发布日期 2013年1月29日 出版发行: Chandos
James Ehnes has previously explored Béla Bartók’s concertos for violin and for viola, to great acclaim. This album is the second in his equally successful survey of Bartók’s chamber music for the violin. His accompanist, once more, is Andrew Armstrong, a pianist praised by critics for his passionate expression and dazzling technique.

The folk-inspired Sonata for Solo Violin was the last work that Bartók wrote for the instrument, not to mention the most challenging. In a departure from his usual practice, this work was written not for a fellow Hungarian, but rather for an artist born in New York where Bartók was now living: Yehudi Menuhin. Suitably impressed by a recital performance by Menuhin of his first Violin Sonata as well as Bach’s Sonata in C, he had no hesitation in accepting the violinist’s commission for a sonata that, like Bach’s, would be unaccompanied.

Almost half a century earlier, Bartók had written his Sonata for Violin and Piano in E minor. It was included in a concert given by graduating students of the Liszt Academy in June 1903, when a critic, most likely not realising just how right he would prove, hailed Bartók as ‘a phenomenal young genius, whose name today is known only to a few, but who is destined to play a great and brilliant role in the history of Hungarian music’.

Additionally on this album we have three groups of Bartók’s Romanian and Hungarian folk dances, folksongs, and folk tunes, arranged for violin variously by Zoltán Székely, Tivadar Országh, and Joseph Szigeti, often with direct involvement by the composer himself who helped fine-tune the new arrangements. James Ehnes also highlights the Romanian influences in Bartók’s Sonatina for piano, transcribed for violin by André Gertler, a student of Bartók’s.

On this new disc, 2008 Grammy and Gramophone Award winning violinist James Ehnes pays tribute to the world's most celebrated violin-makers. This unique Onyx project features performances on twelve of the greatest instruments ever made. The Fulton Collection is perhaps the most important private collection of instruments in the world. It contains many examples of the legendary names Stradivari, Guarneri, da Salo and Guadagnini. For example, the priceless La Pucelle has never been heard in a recording, and the Lord Wilton was Yehudi Menuhin's last instrument. Ehnes performs twenty-one selections in a carefully planned recital program specially chosen to suit each instrument and to work on its own terms. It finishes with a section comparing each instrument in an excerpt of the same piece, a unique opportunity to contrast the sound qualities of these spectacular instruments. The set includes a DVD with the complete performances plus spectacular close-ups of the instruments and substantial interviews. This highly collectible package includes detailed notes by Ehnes himself. This is a landmark recording for all lovers of great instruments and of course great playing.
Elgar: Violin Concerto; Serenade for Strings 豆瓣
James Ehnes / Sir Andrew Davis 类型: 古典
发布日期 2008年1月8日 出版发行: Onyx
GRAMOPHONE CONCERTO AWARD 2008

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." (17 May 2007)

Ehnes gets better and better. Still only 30 this young Canadian is increasingly being recognised as one of the 4 or 5 most complete violinists on the planet. His previous ONYX release of Barber, Korngold and Walton Violin Concertos (ONYX4016) was universally praised, including Record of the Week in the Daily Telegraph and “an outstanding release in every way” from Edward Greenfield in Gramophone

James Ehnes, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and its charismatic music director Kirill Karabits went directly to the studio to record these two great 20th-century concertos after performing them in concerts the Observer described as ‘extraordinary’. Of the Shostakovich, the paper went on to say ‘the brilliant James Ehnes … apparently encountering no technical problems in this hazardously difficult work, transmitted its mood of bitter melancholy and dry-eyed grief with alert, responsive support from the orchestra’.
