Something similar to Sarasate might be the Tzigane by Ravel If looking for Salon music, a classical proponent and composer is Fritz Kreisler (many of his old recordings are also on youtube, and modern artists also play him). If you want to take a look into "classical" classical violin, you want to consider: Sonatas and Suites by J.S. Bach - Many dance pieces, some quite meditative. example: the famous Chaconne: Paganini: Caprices (one of the most technically demanding sets ever written) example: caprice no. 24 (unfortunately with piano) Beethoven: Violin Sonatas (especially Kreutzer and Spring), Violin Romances and Violin Concerto. example: first movement of Kreutzer sonata Other famous Violin Concertos from 19th century are from: Brahms, Mendelssohn (e-minor is very famous), Bruch, Tschaikovsky. example: 3rd movement Mendelssohn: Hope this helps, if you give me some more feedback on what of it you like, I can certainly refine the recommendations. | ||

Recordings vary a lot. Oistrakh defines it, IMO. Midori is very good too. | ||

(My favurite cello piece, probably my favourite classical piece) My last one I can't seem to find but it's Macdowell's Romance for Cello and Orchestra. Just in case you meant violin only I'll throw in a few violin pieces: (Perhaps not the best poker music, but Paganini is always fun, especially this concerto) (Vivaldi, yet another Baroque artist, not quite what you said your taste was but too beautiful not to include) Looking through my music for violin pieces to recommend I was reminded once again that I seriously don't like the violin. If the celloist is the basist, then the violinist is the damn lead guitarist. Ahh, just thought of something. Since you're dutch you're sure to like electronic music (go stereotyping!), as such you might enjoy this. It's an electronic arrangement by the breakcore artist Venetian Snares of Elgar's Cello Concerto. Hope any of this was helpful (although I'm not too confident that it will be). | ||

I really do appreciate all the videos posted though and they helped me play great as I played a very fine session, but I don't think I will listen to most of them again. Somehow I feel they sound much different from the first two videos I have posted which I enjoy most. | ||

Finally, I'll recommend Barber's Strings for Adagia. It's a very well known song, but the original (and the choral version) are both beautiful. | ||
