Excellent "easy listening" CD (Naxos) entitled Opera Fantasies for Violin. Excellent, melodious, musical violinist is Livia Sohn -- quite new, to me. No great music; not even any great, extrovert playing. Just a very pleasant way to spend 66 minutes with the music of Hubay, Raff, Stravinsky, Paganini, et al. I even enjoyed the 7 minute piece by Golijov and the 16 minute piece by Stephen Prutsman.
