Alina Ibragimova's recording of Szymanowski's complete violin works is just great. As the Amazon poster contends, this recording will surely attain legendary status, particularly for the variety of timbre she achieves from her consummate bowing. I couldn't agreee more!
Also, if you have a blu-ray player hooked up to your system, by all means check out the Naxos recordings of the four Szymanowski Symphonies with Wit and the Warsaw Philharmonic. You couldn't wish for more idiomatic playing, and the sound quality is really state of the art - just wonderful:
