Wiki sez:
Louis Kaufman (May 10, 1905 – February 9, 1994) was an American violinist. He played on the soundtrack of as many as 500 movies and made over 100 musical recordings. He is also credited with reviving the music of Antonio Vivaldi with his recording of The Four Seasons in 1947, which won the Grand Prix du Disque in 1950, was elected to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002, and in 2003 was selected for the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry.
Ojai Sam sez:
Kaufman has a gorgeous, sweet tone that brings Vivaldi to life despite the age of these recordings.

Christophe Coin - Marais: Suitte d'un Gout Etranger (composed 1717, recorded 1998)
One often thinks of baroque instrumentals, especially from France, as little more than leisurely background music to amuse the upper classes without distracting them too much. However, these compositions from Marin Marais demand close listening. Like his contemporary, Francois Couperin, Marais injected his pieces with exotic Italian stylistic effects from across the Alps.
Christophe Coin is one of the preeminent players and conductors in the "historically informed" school. Gramophone Magazine sez:
In order to bring the subtleties of music intended to be perceived as in a gout etranger to life, a performer must first master the traditional French baroque style. Christophe Coin has done that, both technically and musically, to a degree matched by no other viol player of today. He is able to bend the music endlessly to his will as only a master can do, producing an individual interpretation while illuminating the music on its own terms. This recording encompasses an astonishing range of moods and effects....
