Product Description
Mendelssohn's E minor violin concerto is one of the composer's greatest works, and one of the most popular violin concertos in the repertoire.
Making his first recording of the work, James Ehnes is partnered by Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Philharmonia, recorded live.
The astonishingly precocious Octet, written when Mendelssohn was just 16, is given a sparking and vivacious performance by James and his friends from the Seattle Chamber Music Society.
His previous ONYX release of the Paganini 24 Caprices was universally praised by reviewers worldwide.
