“…James Ehnes… has been given the run of the extraordinary collection of violins and violas assembled by David Fulton, to wit: one Pietro Guarneri, six Stradivari, two Guarneri “del Gesù” and violas by Bertolotti, Andrea Guarneri and Guadagnini… On the CD, you can enjoy Ehnes playing an enriching recital on all 12 instruments, capped by 12 “comparison tracks” in which the same brief passage from Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy (Harold in Italy for the violas) is played on each instrument in turn. The same performances were filmed for the DVD. There are interviews with Ehnes, Fulton and others.” March 2009, Gramophone Magazine
Review
Phil Richards, Readings Carlton
Violinist James Ehnes pays tribute to the world’s most celebrated violin-makers in this unique project featuring performances on 12 of the greatest instruments ever made. All instruments are from the Fulton Collection, which is perhaps the most important private collection in the world. Ehnes performs 21 selections on violins by Stradivari, Guarneri, da Salo and Guadagnini, in a carefully planned recital programme specially chosen to suit each instrument. It finishes with a section comparing each instrument to an excerpt of the same piece: a unique opportunity to contrast the sound qualities of these spectacular instruments. The DVD has the complete performances, plus spectacular close-ups of the instruments and substantial interview sequences. This is one collection not to be missed.
