I want violin music. Any genre. Any mood. Anything.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Please recommend.

[Richard Steele]

1. "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Camper Van Beethoven

The original by Status Quo wasn't bad either.

[SerpentX]

21. Hell, anything off of Key Lime Pie would be great.

'Cause in the mind of Ronald Reagan
wheels they turn and gears they grind
buildings collapse in slow motion
and the trains collide

[FuzzySlippers]

2. The Bach Concertos.

Concerto for Two Violins in D minor.
Violin Concertos in A minor & E major.

I have this version with Anne-Sophie Mutter and Salvatore Accardo.

[quiet.american]

3. Sarah Chang, "Debut."

All these years later, the CD is still awe-inspiringly, breathtakingly, incomprehensibly amazing.

[Shine]

4. Stephan Grappelli.

ANYthing of his is excellent, but I would esp recommend the stuff he did in the 30's with Django Reinhart.

:thumbsup:

13. ...

[theophilus]

14. Ziegeunerweisen (Gypsy tunes) by Sarasate or

perhaps Humoresque by Dvorak. I have always been partial to Gypsy music. So sweet and yet often so sad.

[sakabatou]

15. "Kyoudai" by Michiru Ooshima

Also has piano accompaniment...

[bridgit]

16. lara st john...

Tchaikovsky's Andante cantabile from Quartet No. 1 in D

Mozart's Violin Concertoes No. 3 & 5

[rucky]

19. Hayseed Dixie

:shrug:

[Robeson]

20. Doug Kershaw, "The Cajun Way".....

....give it a spin.

[dbt]

23. Peter Knight (of Steeleye Span) is a brilliant violinist

And probably Quite Mad in the bargain. "Robbery With Violins" off the "Parcel Of Rogues" CD by Steelye Span will turn your head around. He also has quite a body of more "conventional" work and has played with Stephane Grapelli. Check his website at www.peterknight.net.

:smoke:
dbt
Remember New Orleans

And anything by Vassar Clements, especially "Hillbilly Jazz!"

[Crowdance]

25. My son. I shall send him to your house to practice.

And remember, you asked for it.
