Actor says Canada will never have a robust national culture on a purely volunteer basis [The Globe and Mail: Arts]The Seattle Times: Great young violinist with a great old violin  < 5:22:58 PM>.Fulton has loaned violins to some of the world's great players, and he calls Ehnes "one of the finest violinists on the planet. He ranks in the top half-dozen of the best players today. I think his recordings show the same insight and depth of (David) Oistrakh (a legendary Russian violinist, 1908-1974)." The Marsick Strad, interestingly, was once played by Oistrakh. Ehnes says, "I can't tell you how important that violin is to me. It allows me to do everything that I want to do, both in terms of technique and sound. There's another aspect, too: People hear that I am playing a Golden Period Strad, and they think, 'He must be pretty good.' David has made a tremendous difference in my career and my life." We're in the final stages of another disc with James. It will be in stores this fall. |
