By now, Vilaas Shetty must have more than enough concertos to last a long time, but there are some others no-one has yet mentioned AFAIK: Haydn's three concertos (and possibly more) are not heard or recorded all that often but are charming works. If you're lucky, you might get the Sinfonia Concertante thrown in. Apart from the violin concertos, there's an attractive Philips Duo set of Bruch's other longer works for violin and orchestra including the already-mentioned Scottish Fantasy and my favourite, the Serenade. And then there are: Mendelssohn's early Concerto in D Minor and Concerto for Violin and Piano; Suk's Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra; Sibelius's Humoresques and other short violin and orchestra works; Britten's sometimes bleak sometimes steamy concerto; Piston's concertos (on Naxos, too); Brian's surprisingly approachable concerto; Dyson's long and very rewarding concerto; Bernstein's Serenade; Vieuxtemps' rather flashy but enjoyable concertos (I think there are seven but there could be more); Martinu's two concertos; Frankel's (subtitled In memory of the six million) with which you get the equally fine viola concerto and the Serenata Concertante. Another good Naxos contains concertos by Berwald and Aulin and a couple of romances by Stenhammar. And Allan Pettersson's second is quite amazing and will leave you wrung out and in need of immediate creature comforts. The thread title by implication might suggest we consider those concertos listers don't like or don't like as much, and I'm sure to raise someone's ire thus: Stravinsky's is OK but IMHO not one of his best works. I've tried Dutilleux's but... Ditto Schoenberg's. Definitely double ditto Penderecki which I never want to hear again. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
