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.

@mahgister, the Grumiaux Bach Double is definitely a good recording. My other two favorites are Perlman/Pinchas Zukerman and Hilary Hahn/Margaret Batjer. 

I think both “concertos” and “concerti” are valid spellings, although I generally say “concerti”. 

While Bach only wrote one double violin concerto, he did write a relatively obscure triple violin concerto in D Major.
Is it one inspired by Vivaldi? Oups, I think not....

 An obscure work of Bach is nevermind a work of art...

By the way like I said, I had never been able to stick to any other version... I tried.... :)
Beethoven's my favorite.  I think of it as a wonderful piece of music that happens to be a conocerto.
A couple of "near-concerto" offerings worth mentioning: Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante (violin and viola) and Vaughan Williams’ "The Lark Ascending"
Glad to see a mention of the Korngold--some good stuff in that one. Sounds a bit like a Star Trek movie soundtrack at this point, but that’s hardly his fault.
