are you looking for just tracks that include violin/piano, or ones explicitly focused on 'em?

Ones that are explicitly as you said, focused on them.

"Melodie" from the the anime Noir is a pretty nice little creepy song, but it's really short. Look into bond and Vanessa Mae, they do 'modern' versions of classical songs (I don't know any specific songs, though). Might find a track or two that suits a darker tone.

Well I can name you some:

Orchestrated only:

Arcturus - Ad Astra (Orchestral Version from "Disguised Masters")
Arcturus - Master of Disguise (from "La Masquerade Infernale")
Tenhi - "Väre" (Folk)
Tenhi - "airut:ciwi" (Ethno/Folk)
Shiva in Exile - "Ethnic"

Focused on classical instruments:

Arcturus - "The Sham Mirrors" piano
Apocalyptica - almost everything
Theatre of Tragedy - "Velvet Darkness They Fear" Violin
In the Woods - "Omnio" string quartet

All songs/albums are either pure black/folk metal or produced by metal composers. Although it's really hard to find music that combines metal and classical instruments perfect.

I already have some Arcturus songs

But I will check out all you guys have mentioned. Any more you can think of?

Lucky you!
Just discovered something new:

Rakoth - "Planeshift" piano/flute (IMHO sounds like the raw black metal version of Arcturus)

regarding Ulver:

Only the album "Kveldssanger" is folk (guitar unplugged), the rest is either pure black metal or progrssive/industrial electronic (yeah, how a band can change...).

Yeah but it was one of the first ones, that most people don't already listen to, that came to mind.
