Name your favorite classical violonist among the most notorious!!

my two fav are Leonid Kogan (impressive violonist from Russia next to David Oistrakh)

Christian Ferras (maybe the most sensitive and powerful violonist of all time, his performance of Sibelius concerto is truly magnificant)

Andrew Manze for early music (up to Baroque or Classic)

Pinchas Zuckermann / Yehudi Menuhin for more modern stuff

Guidon Kremer for very modern noises...

Myself to try to get a sound out of the damned thing (I can do pizzicato though)

In his later years Menuhin sucked horribly.

Hard to beat Perlman, IMO. Wm Preucil really brought the Cleveland
Quartet back to life the years before they disbanded.
I can have double standards, and you can't

Yes for sure, a great performance too, I just tend to prefer the work of Christian Ferras on it...more sensitive!!

I see, it's a matter of taste.

Someone told me i was mad because, for me, no one plays Mozart's piano sonatas well like Murray Perahia

Mark O'Connor : actually he began as a bluegrass/country violinist but he also recorded some classical works, among which his fabulous 'fanfare for the volunteer'. He also replaced Allan Sloan within the Dixie Dregs for their last album 'Industry standard' before they gathered anew for their ultimate studio album 'Full circle'.

Marcus Viana : well-known for his contribution to the brazilian symphonic prog band Sagrado Coraçao da terra, he is a classically trained violinist and besides his work in Sagrado, he recorded some albums of classical music. His playing is very poignant and leans towards the french romantic era, such as Debussy and Satie.

Yehudi Menuhin : the greatest among the greatest.

Nigel Kennedy : his interpretation of Vivaldi's 'Four seasons' is stunning. His work with pop artists such as Kate Bush and Talk talk is also noteworthy.
