"Chiacona A Violino Solo", composed by Antonio Bertalli. From the cd "Unarum Fidium" performed by J. Holloway. Why? Just listen... 1600's fiddle! How can one not like it?
My very favorite is the Concerto for Violin/Viola by Mr. Mozart K 364. I have many recorded versions of this piece including the RCA Heiftez but my favorite was a live performance by a husband and wife team locally performed. It is just an extraordinary piece of music where the violin and viola talk to each other with passion and beautiful lyricism.
Bluegrass I would recommend Byron Berline with the Flying Burrito Brother's live performance recorded in the early 70's. The group features Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman and gang performing "The Orange Blossom Special". I like it because it is bluegrass at its toe tapping, foot stomping best!
Ah Doug Kershaw, do I remember him from the early 70's! What a great stage performer.
Eddie Jobson from the progressive rock group UK (UK, Danger Money; 1978, 1979). Jean-Luc Ponty jazz fusion-rock (Enigmatic Ocean, Cosmic Messenger; 1977, 1978). Augmented the electric violin with guitarist pedals (echoplex,distortion,phase,wha,etc.) Same things I played during that time.
