I don't know about "best sounding", because that's a weird thing to say to me. It really is an incredibly romantic instrument though, and it's especially impressive when played well because it's so incredibly unforgiving. Props to anyone who can stick out a violin education when 99% of your time mastering the instrument will sound downright awful.

Piano's top 5, but not the best.

I can play two songs on the Violin, I stopped there because I've never taken lessons and I don't want to 'learn' bad technique.

Those songs are, The Girl I Left Behind, and, Ashoken Farewell.
Odd, looking at this, I just realized they are both Farewell songs. Hmm...

Anyway, here's some Bach for Solo Violin.

God, her technique is really something else, that tone. Always thought she was a pretty weird girl but she just nails every bach piece like it's nothing.

And the only thing better the Bach solo Violin is a Bach Double Violin.
This is the second movement of his Double Violin Concerto in Dm.

I've always been blown away by the sympathy expressed by the two Violin parts.
It's as though, ones puppy died, and the other is trying to console it.

Those kettle drum things they play in the Caribbean sound nice as well.

Ya, she really does a good job.
It kind of reminds me of how Ingmar Bergman used Bachs Cello suites in Through a Glass Darkly.
Just not quite as sourful and lonely.

She gets a lot of flak for lacking soul or gravitas but honestly I think her Bach is the best I've ever heard, especially her bach partitas. If there's a better version of the Chaconne around than this I've never heard it:
