James Ehnes is a Canadian Legend. This is possibly my favourite rec of the Caprices… sometimes Rabin just feels too mechanical.

I have Ehnes’ Bach Solo Violin Works too. Will post if there’s any interest.
Re: Rabin the later set yes, the earlier one, certainly not.

(these are fantastic, btw)
Yeah, the Early Rabin is simply untouchable.
man, check out amazon.com reviews about paganini caprices. 80% of ppl there consider perlman version no.1.
I have no problem with the Perlman, but I would never put it at no. 1.
tru Ehnes iz a legend, I saw him live a few monthz ago. He played sum Tchaik: da Sérénade Mélancolique & Souvenir d’un lieu cher.
These are great- if you haven’t put up the Bach, it’d be great to have
FYI: He recorded these when he was only 18 or 19.

Many thanks! Seconding a request for the Bach.
K, it will follow shortly.
I’ll post Szeryng and Milstein’s sets too, which I consider to be No. 1 and 2, respectively.
Speaking of Milstein…anyone have his Bach Solo Violin stuff they’d be willing to upload? All I have is the D minor Ciaconne which is easily the most stunning recording I’ve heard of that piece.
damn where’s my head at today!
Thanks so much, man.
I bought the Ehnes Bach, and its awesome (cost me $30 cdn tho)
Cost me like 5 bucks at emusic.com
