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?

Also, Arvo Part's stark and beautiful, Fur Alina might be something you'd enjoy. It has a very ambient-music feel to it and while it is really for piano, the piece, Spiegel im Spiegel brings in violin. It does have a haunting presence.
To me, the most brilliant piece of music ever composed for the violin solo is Bach's Chaconne (5th movement of Partita in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004)), performed by many.

However to me Back (nor any of the other "virtuoso" stuff mentioned here), is not "spooky almost make you want to cry" music, whereas Arvo Part is.

The most otherworldy, trancedental "music with violin" are the slow movements of the late Beethoven string quartets:

Opus 127: String Quartet No. 12 in E flat major (1825)
Opus 130: String Quartet No. 13 in B flat major (1825)
Opus 131: String Quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor (1826)
Opus 132: String Quartet No. 15 in A minor (1825)
Opus 133: Große Fuge in B flat major for string quartet (1826), originally the finale to op. 130
Opus 135: String Quartet No. 16 in F major (1826)
Lucia Micarelli,
Violinist..and really kind of a 'pop star', appeared on the Chris Botti Boston DVD...she's a great performer, and good fiolinist with great stylings.
The work with Botti is top notch...I think that you'll like her...that and she's really, really sexy in the black evening gown...

Good listening,
Larry
