Hi, If you like ELO, ELP and Jethro Tull, you should check out Vivaldi- The Four Seasons as it has an almost rock like nature. The lead violin always remind me of lead guitar the way they are done.I have a Vanguard stereolab -BGS 5001 that I believe is from the late 50's, conducted by Antonio Janigro with Jan Tomasow on "lead" violin that sounds very dynamic, it was an easy switch from rock to this record. Check out some of the used record stores in your area and see what you can find. Good Luck
