"A single violin is as loud as the whole orchestra"

Actually, this is done a LOT on recordings of concerti for solo instrument plus orchestra. And it arguably better suits the composer's intent to have the soloist stand out from the accompaniment.

I have a box set of all Paganini's violin concerti, and the solo fiddle is mixed very much front and center, even in the loud tutti passages. To me, it sounds right there, although in an unamplified live performance it would be somewhat more swallowed in the mix.
