"That's how you do it, son."
Stern certainly plays in that style. Gotta like those slides.
Not a fan of all that vibrato. Find it quite maudlin. Stern, Perlman and their ilk are pretty much unlistenable for me.
Much prefer baroque violin—in the hands of a Baroque master like Rachel Podger:
If I must listen to that sort of over-the-top, vaudevillian, degraded violin, I’ll take Stephane Grapelli:
Sorry. JMHO. You asked :-)

Stéphane Grappelli, a French jazz violinist, is right up there on my list.

I thought this might be about Eddie Jobson.

Kreisler would be quite familiar to anyone who’s any kind of a fan of classical music. Legendary child prodigy.
I suppose wire band nancys are into violin, but let's face it, piano is where it's at. He-men play percussion instruments - or trumpet.
A wise man once said, "Good music should be played loudly."

He wrote (1) pieces in his own name and style, (2) pieces in the styles of others under his own name, and (3) pieces that he attempted to pass off as the works of others. Everybody who worked with him loved him.
There is a famous story about him. Back in the Teens or Twenties, Kreisler appeared in a recital in Portland (OR) with a pianist named Bowman. They performed Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Violin Sonata. Then at a party afterward, they performed it again -- with Kreisler on the piano and Bowman on the violin.
Kreisler, is my favorite, especially his original compositions, which contain wonderful piano accompaniment. I recently completed a recording on my plectrum banjo. of “Rondino”, a violin version of a Beethoven rondo which he dedicated to Misha Ellman...turned out pretty good. Production is a few weeks away.
I have become an Alma Deutscher fan. She is our century’s genius: composer, pianist, violinist, orchestrator par excellence!
Grabbing some of the artist you mentioned to see if i like it enough to collect more.
