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.

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.
