If you're going to listen to the Four Seasons I would recommend Nils-Erik Sparf. Real edge of your seat excitement for this old warhorse. For the audiophiles, the recording is a bit bright, but leagues ahead of everything else I've heard, so a win win in my book.

That's a new one for me. I'm not familiar with that version, but would be interested in hearing it. The last one I tried was by Nigel Kennedy which was quite different, and after years of listening to it, I'm not sure it's the best I've heard by any means. Thanks for the reference.
