I have just found Joshua Bell

The Essential Joshua Bell, Joshua Bell

I had been watching Ladies in Lavender, a film with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, about a young musician who'd been shipwrecked and washed up in their little wild bay.  He didn't speak their language, but it became apparent he was a musician, a violinist.  When he played, it was so beautiful, so I looked for the credits and googled the violinist, Joshua Bell.
What a joy it is to listen to this young man's playing.  And it helps that he is beautiful to look at :)  Obviously many others think the same way and there are plenty of clips on You Tube, but my favourite is the theme music to Ladies in Lavender http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4RIPjk6Jh4 It isn't a demanding piece for a violinist, but it is beautiful.
