Question: Recommend me good modern violinists

Can you recommend me great modern violinists? Like Jo Young-wook, Paul Cantelon, etc. I'm starting to learn to play violin, and like many classical violin stuff, but I like more modern stuff like:

Jo Young-wook (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance OST)
Yann Tiersen
something from Emir Kusturica and Paul Cantelon.

What do you recommend me?

If you're interested in branching out into more challenging jazz players, I can't recommend Leroy Jenkins and Billy Bang enough. Peter Knight's playing with the Trevor Watts Drum Orchestra (especially on Burundi Monday) is also inspiring as hell.

Mark O'Connor is all about blending Classical with American (think fiddling). I had the pleasure of hearing him in a small salon setting, and can easily say that he is a great contemporary violinist, if not one of the greatest.

Great suggestions, guys!

Oliver Schroer sounds nice.
Need to listen carefully to the rest of the artists.

I also found today Edvin Marton which is awesome. I like that mix with electronic.

Keep suggesting :)
