5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Outstanding, Nov 24 2008

By	Edward Lamaide - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have thought in the past that something like this cd/dvd set would be very interesting. Now that a project like this has finally come along I have to say I could not be happier. The level of playing technique is breathtaking and the dvd with it's interviews makes it such a complete package. I can't think of anything that would have made this better. If you are even the slightest bit interested in violins then you must buy this set. Being able to compair some of the greatest violins in history back to back is really something special.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, unique cd, Aug 2 2009

By	K. Marsden (Vancouver BC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for a young boy in Ukraine who is studying violin and viola. His family are poor, and it is a great sacrifice for them to pay for his lessons and instruments. He has won many competitions and is very dedicated. They aren't able to afford CDs and have limited access to them in any case. They are delighted with the CD, and really appreciate the history of both instruments. James Ehnes plays exquisitely, and his warm personal touch is and added pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Homage to great instruments, April 14 2009

By	Johnny Darkness "Johnny Darkness" (West Kelowna, BC) - See all my reviews

Homage (CD & DVD)
Ehnes plays masterfully, as expected. This homage to the great violin and viola makers is outstanding: while I do not have a trained ear, I believe I could understand why he chose music specifically for each instrument and, to the best of my knowledge/experience, the instruments are presented in all their glory - you really can experience their individual personalities. Having specific comparison pieces allows one to gain an insight into the individual capabilities of the instruments. The DVD enhances both the artistic and pedagogical experiences. A dream to listen to.
