What are your most favorite violin concerti?



Mine are:

Beethoven's,
Tchaikovsky Concerto in D,
and Mendelssohn's in Em

Many would argue with me but I think the best of them all by far is from Beethoven. I know a lot of people including those in the academic circle believe it's the Tchaikovsky concerto.

But anyway that's only my opinion.

All good choices, but I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the Stravinsky. His own recording with Stern (on CBS) is something of a disappointment, mostly due to Stern's intonation.
But there are some great recordings in the catalogue, like Chung with Previn (Decca, on vinyl coupled with the Walton), Perlman with Ozawa (DGG, on vinyl coupled with an equally outstanding performance of the Berg) and Mutter with Paul Sacher (on CD coupled with works by Lutoslawski, also on DGG).

My longtime favorite is one not yet mentioned.
The Glazunov Concerto, especially with Oistrakh.
The height of romanticism.
Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto #4 in F minor with Arthur Rodzinski conducting the LSO, with Erica Morini on violin.
