killer violin tracks.

hello all,

newbie here, been breaking in new system for a couple of weeks and loving it. have been reading that violins are a good test for system performance. hope some of you could share your favorite violin cd's and perhaps tell me what to listen for and what this will determine.

If these three CD's don't do it, it can't be done ...

1. Argerich/Kremer/Bashmet/Maisky "Brahms OP 25" ... listen for richness of sound
2. Richie Beirach/Gregor Hübner/George Mraz "Round About Monteverdi" ... listen for the mood the musicians are able to create, as well as sound depth and clarity
3. Mark O'Connor "In Full Swing" ... listen for the type of detail that is possible when music is played fast ... hot violin playing at its finest, so to speak

Regards, Rich

A new find from Harmonia Mundi ... "Le Violin Vagabond." What seductive, sweet, and compelling music. Graf Mourja on violin and Natalia Gous on piano ... that's it. Took a chance on the CD ... what a payoff. Awesome. Listen to a sample .
