Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, and Bruch are usually there too. Sibelius, Shostakovich and Brahms tend to fight out the 5th. There are sooo many amazing concertos though. I really love Saint-Saens' 3rd violin concertos in b minor as well. The 2nd movement is beautiful. My fav is with Gil Shaham. He has performed it with the NYO and LSO. Amazing.
