"Introduction et rondo capriccioso" performed by Shlomo Mintz. The introduction is long, but wait until just before the 2 minute mark...it's worth the wait!!! If you want just the 'fireworks', skip ahead to 7:40 and watch it through the end. My goodness that's fast. media type="youtube" key="AzcUQIm_gzE?fs=1" height="385" width="480"
