Of all baroque violinists that seek authenticity in sound and perform on instruments created during or close to the time frame the music that was written, there are three that stand out as favorites:
Rachel Podger,
Elizabeth Wallfisch, and
Andrew Manze. Podger is my favorite but I love all three without question.
As for recordings of more early violin music, I specifically recommend '
Perla Barocca' by Podger and a cd titled '
Early Italian Violin Sonatas' by Wallfisch who has been involved with the musical unit called Convivium that used to use the name The Locatelli
Trio that made many wonderful contributions to the catalog of lesser heard baroque violin music.
In order to raise awareness and gain a better understanding of the sequential order of early violin music, I have made a list of early violin composers and the year they were born, simply by doing searches of the names mentioned below and following the recorded repertoire of Podger, Manze and Wallfisch you will find there is much to discover.

This is a continuation of my old account from 6 years ago (rareviolintreasures), I started running out of things to upload that were out of print or rare and was just too tired to continue because I was working in excess of
100 hour weeks. My intention was to get the majority of recordings I had that were difficult to find, once I felt
I had accomplished this goal, I decided it was time to stop.
A few months later I somehow got locked out of my account so 6 years later I am ready to resume. It was my hope that many collectors would continue where I left off and I'm amazed and delighted to see how many recordings have been made public in my absence.
I have always encouraged sharing out of print recordings but it is upsetting to see recordings made public of recordings that are still commercially available.
Alot has changed in my 6 year absence as some things that were in print no longer are and vice versa, so keep in mind I no longer have access to my old account and can not modify or delete anything I put up before, it has always been my intention to not share recordings that still are in print as this would reduce support for the artist. It is my intention to only share music that is no longer commercially in print as I am as respectful as I can be to artists and record companies that continue to make their art available to fans like me. My intention is to share recordings to make recordings available so they do not get lost or forgotten. It is also my wish to share recordings for fans like me but also for the purpose of those who study the violin and encourage all who listen to acquire their own personal copy of these recordings in the used cd/lp market, in other words even though you hear it here on you tube for free, get your own legitimate copy if you hear something you like. I also would like to encourage others to fill in the gaps and pick up where I let off with recordings I don't have or may have missed, but only if the recordings have gone out of print. I want to re-emphasize I discourage anyone to upload a recording if it is still being sold commercially.
