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.

My longtime favorite is one not yet mentioned.
The Glazunov Concerto, especially with Oistrakh.
The height of romanticism.

Bach Concerto for Two Violins with the luminous Grumiaux...

I doubt that anyone can listen a violin concerto one time each day, except this one....

Some music are tremendous but continuous listening kills the emotion, not with Bach tough.... :)

I listen to it for 40 years thousand times...Without a small diminishing impact because of repetition, a feat that put it at the peak height on any concertos list...
