Could you indicate some dramatic Cello & Violin recordings...something like Janos Starker's Kodaly...it's incredible.Thanks

I'm a big fan of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with Julia Fischer and the Russian National Orchestra.  Pentatone did a great job on the recording/mastering of the hybrid SACD.

The Dvorak's cello concerto is impressive.  The Brahm's and Beetoven's violin concertos are beautiful.

just listened to the 30" samples on amazon. Good stuff!
I am not sure if you are familiar with Bartok string quartets. If not, you may want to give them a listen.  The Emerson's recording has lots of fire and  excellent sound.

Brahm's cello concerto is powerful.
Mendelssohn's violin concerto is amongst the best.
Joshua Bell playing Kreisler is also wonderful (violin and piano).

You mean his Double Concerto for Cello and Violin, perhaps?
 
The album Face a Face, by the Capucon brothers, is a very enjoyable collection of off-the-beaten-path music for the violin and cello duo.

Bottesini's Double Bass concerto?

 

[Israfel]

Elgar's Cello Concerto is the obvious pick. Doesn't get much more dramatic than that.
 
Brahm's Cello Sonata 1 of course.

Bach: Cello Suites Nos. 1-6 Mstislav Rostropovich I heard this at a shop in SF while on vacation and was blown away

 

[G.Trenchev]

Got Brahm's Cello Sonatas....I like

 

[revolink24]

Elgar Cello Concerto (du Pre's is the best)
Bruch Violin Concerto
Saint-Saens Cello Concerto
Dvorak Cello Concerto
 
Also try some chamber music. The Tchaikovsky Souvenir of Florence is spectacular.
