The tone on the violin is amazing. However, this version is a little too "waltzy" for me. I maintain that it should stay in the vein of a lament.

It *is* a waltz. Jay Ungar wrote it for the dance camp at Ashokan, New York. Ken Burns decided to slow it down for background music in his documentary.

This version is nice. Sounds different than most because they are really emphasizing 3/4 beat. Listen when others join her and you can clearly hear.
Always a great song.

Very nice. A little faster than I play it , but that is just artistic license.  Still always a beautiful and emotional tune.

Well, to each his own. I much prefer the original by Jay Unger.

I think she's playing it a bit too fast.
