I find the Sibelius intro way too dramatic and too fragmented / choppy. I prefer the violin solo start as a sustained whisper and steadily build up the intensity.

In a master artist’s hands, like your’s, Ray, I love that the violin can be both brightly evocative and hauntingly retrospective at the same time. The emotional depths of each expression are like the great storytellers of history. I can feel my heart beat slow or the sublime rush of anticipation with each movement of the bow. ❤

Btw, the intro to the 1st mvt of the Saint-Saëns is totally badass as well. (not as much technically, but emotionally). It manages to get to a "peak" moment before even leaving the G string.
