kevin,
This is a very good example, because if I wanted to listen to violin Jasha =
Heifetz would be my last choice. =

Listen to this- it's not formal, the violin is singing and Bach sounds like=

but this is a matter of taste , of course, I felt that the discussion about=
Sabine Meyer had more than taste.
