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.

Morimur (Partita in D minor BWV 1004 for solo Violin)- JSBach. played on baroque violin by Christoph Poppen with the Hilliard Ensemble. ECM New Series 1765

Absolutely mesmerizing! It's a must!

Try one of the BOND CDs, BORN or SHINE. They play electric and acoustic. Classical style music played over modern rock and dance beats. Fun stuff! Try the DVD as well.

It's a Beautiful Day - "White Bird." This is a rock band from SF in the 60's. "White Bird" is a great song off a good album with a darn good violin solo on it.

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 .
