There are not many good recordings of the violin..... But here is one of them.......... (Albeit compressed.)
The comments were interesting to read as well.
Not exactly and easy question; there was a mike on the violin, but not on any of the other instruments (cello, bass, viola, violin, piano). There were, however, no obvious speakers facing the audience, only floor speakers facing the musicians themselves. Did not seem amplified at all from the perspective of the audience, I think.
My point was going to be, "the absolute sound" is the sound of live unamplified instruments.
If amplified, the show tells you little about the true sound of the instruments and therefore would not be useful as a reference.

It was not amplified in the sense that a rock and roll concert is amplified--I would say that the sound would have been very similar were there no mics at all, in fact. Most of the time, when I have heard live violins, they are not amplified.
Unamplified should be your reference.
Here's some info from The Strings Music Pavilion website,

Thanks, Tre, very interesting.
I'm not convinced they were using this system as only Micarelli's violin had a microphone--could they have used only part of the system? Simple don't know. Nevertheless, I've heard live violins that were not amplified (e.g., many years ago, Midori in a solo concert) and I had the same impression, though not as strong because Micarelli tends to be much more dynamic, particularly in the type of music she plays.
