Gemma3313…..Try the Anne Akiko Meyers CD (out of print but you can order it used on Amazon or chase it down on eBay) of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. She plays divinely. It is my favorite version the Mendelssohn of all the efforts I have heard to date including Heifetz, Szeryng, Pearlman, Oistrakh, Zukerman, Rabin, Shaham, Milstein, Stern, Vengerov, and several others.
.
Ghosthouse, As an additional bonus, on the same Anne Akiko Meyer CD , there is a wonderful/ breath taking version of Ralph Vaughan Williams "The Lark Ascending" followed up by Dvorak Romance for Violin and Orchestra, and then finally Massenet's Meditation.
.
I would say that the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto coupled with the Lark Ascending and the Dvorak Romance for Violin and Orchestra are just magical, mesmerizing and as good as it gets. This one CD (wish it was on vinyl) has great sound for a CD and will be one of your treasures.
