watched a story on James Ehnes last night on CBC National. I knew who he was and what he did, but wow!! What he has accomplished is amazing. How he "challenges" each violin he plays, which in turn "challenges" him. The instruments he plays, and how old and priceless they are. Seeing that it is not the type of music I listen too, it was very eye opening for me.
