The famous one recorded his piece. Do you know who they are?

    		The famous one would be Fritz Kreisler

    "He performed and recorded his own version of the Paganini D major violin concerto-first movement. This version is rescored and in some places reharmonised. The orchestral introduction is completely rewritten in some places. The overall effect is of a late nineteenth century work."

    The unknown one might be the Argentinian Alberto Ginastera. Lots of composers had a go at arranging Paganini works.
