1. William Preucil's "Orchestral Excerpts for the Violin with Spoken Commentary." (Summit records). This recording would be great for anyone starting to study orchestral excerpts for an audition. Works include:
Don Juan, bartered Bride, Mozart 39,Beethoven 3/9, Midsommer night's dream, Brahms 2, Schumann 2.
2. Eugene Ysaye Complete Recordings (Sony Classical). A great collection of historic recordings. Ysaye plays two of his own works (Mazurka in B minor and Reve d'enfant); the rest are by other composers. So sorry, no solo sonatas...
