I can’t choose either, but Variations on “The Last Rose of Summer” by Ernst is one of my favourites. Just a bit beyond my skill level, though :)

This performance by Midori is excellent.

Thanks for creating this community, BTW.

The first thing that comes to mind is Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto. The link is a recording with David Oistrakh.

I really like Tuomas Rounakari’s Husky Sledge. https://tidal.com/track/40709520/u

It sounds slightly different than the version recorded when he was with Korpiklaani https://tidal.com/track/106183731/u

I also love Olli Vänskä intro on Viikatelintu https://tidal.com/track/335443256/u

violins is never the answer
