Recommendation needed for four pieces of music


There are four pieces of classical music that are my all-time favorate. I would like to invite your recommendations on these pieces, considering both performance and recording quality:

Saint-saens: Introduction et Ronda capriccioso

Tchaikovsky: Marche slave

Weber: Oberon

Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen

My system only play CDs and SACDs.

Ruggiero Ricci and Jascha Heifetz are certainly master technicians and their versions of both the Sarasate and Saint-Saens violin pieces are splendid.

Regarding more recent recordings, Sarah Chang plays both pieces well and the sound of her new Guarnerius contributes to a splended performance. She has come a long way to becoming an accomplished violinist beginning with her Debut album at ten years old where she played on a quarter size violin which still sounded rather good.

Michael Rabin played these pieces splendidly as well and I have his recordings on vinyl, but I see that CD albums of this gifted violinist are showing up in large collection versions.

Happy listenging.
