Favorite currently active violinist

I'm more interested in pianists generally, so I'm not as up on violinsts, but some I like performing now:

Hilary Hahn
Anne Sophie Mutter (from roughly Berg forward)
Corey Cerovsek (on the strength of his LvB violin sonatas alone)
Mirjam Tschopp
Miriam Kramer

I'm probably missing a few, and I'm obviously excluding violinists in ensembles (ie, string quartets). For instance, I find Thomas Zehetmair more interesting as part of his quartet than as a solo artist.

My vote goes to Mutter, no surprise if you followed my posts.

John Holloway
Nigel Kennedy
Gidon Kremer
Andrew Manze
Viktoria Mullova

Aly Bain

Ian Telfer
Charlie McKerron
Mairéd Ní Mhaonaigh
Mairéd Nesbitt

far and away, shlomo mintz.

he has the most perfect intonation and the most beautiful tone of any violinist i have heard.

the paganini caprices, prokofiev violin sonatas and prokofiev violin concertos with abbado/chicago are all landmark recordings.

I'm surprised that Rachel Podger hasn't yet been mentioned. Her Bach is superb and if you ever see her playing, she seems to get as much enjoyment from it as she gives.

Viktoria Mullova
Anne Sophie Mutter
Hilary Hahn
Julia Fischer

And in concert nothing can beat Nigel Kennedy
