I took the audio from this video of Dmitri Makhtin. I played with him as 2th violin with an amateur orchestra the Tsjaikovsky violin concerto in 1996 in the Netherlands:

Thanks for sharing. He's an amazing violinist. I just discovered him no long ago! I gotta wonder what was on Paganini's mind when he composed these pieces...one harder than the previous, especially after I heard all 6 concertos
