If you could find them and if your friend didn't suffer from the
crippling disease of audiophilia, I'd recommend Francescatti and
Casadesus or Suk and Panenka. (Nobody but me seems to like Robert
Mann and Stephen Hough, so I would have to listen again before
plugging them.)

And no one but me likes Heifetz/Bay because the pianist is too
restrained. I still think Heifetz's powerful playing makes it worthwhile,
though perhaps not if it's the only set one buy. It's certainly
emotional, though in a "masculine" way.
