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.

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.
