The double violin concerto by Henk Badings!

I gather that the composer was denigrated, and his career hurt for awhile, because of alleged Nazi sympathies.

But if you're looking for fast pace and intensity-- wow. I caught it on the radio in the 1960s, when I was in high school (performed by the Concertgebouw), and fortunately the tape recorder was running. Pity, that capture has not survived the years. Lotsa luck finding it now.
