What are the names of the violinist and pianist?
The violinist is Caucasian and the pianist is Asian. They perform kind of a goofy act, but they are both very talented. They have some videos on youtube, but I cannot remember either of their names. In one of the videos the violinist is in just a suit jacket and boxers if that helps.

Carmignola/Orchestre des Champs-Elysées/Moccia(Decca)Haydn's violin concertos are a bit of a puzzle. He composed four in all, of which the Second is lost. The First was written in 1765 for one Luigi Tomasini, an Italian violinist at the Esterháza court. The rest can't be dated with certainty: it has been mooted that Haydn, also an accomplished violinist, may have written them for himself. The First is very retro and reminiscent of Vivaldi. The...
