I suggest Slomo Mintz, Guidon Kremer and Julia Fisher.
I like Mintz in the Paganini Caprices, the recording are closeup w/near mikes.

Certainly you like Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, I suggest Kremer:
http://www.amazon.com/Tchaikovsky-Violin-Concerto-Serenade-Melancolique/dp/B0015081BO/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1455288023&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=guidon+kraemer+-+tschaikovski
ALso the Serenade Melancolique are superb here.

So came Julia Fischer and set a new standard on this work:

Julia repertoire are always exciting:
