Help me find violin and cello related


Ok, so I am looking for a few albums. I am looking specifically for something with Violin that has that spooky almost make you want to cry presence.

On cello, I am looking for something that has that kind of depth in the recording where you can tell the cello was set back from the mic and you get the sense that it was recorded in like a large old castle or large hall.

Any ideas?

I recommend any of Tianwa Yang's Sarasate recordings. Here's a good place to start:

A few more recommendations:

Prokofiev: Violin Sonatas - Kremer/Argerich on DG

Szymanowski: Violin Concertos - Kulka on EMI (not Naxos)

Pärt: Fratres - Kremer on ECM

Heifetz plays Sibelius, Prokofiev, and Glazunov on an RCA Hybrid SACD.
