I’ve got eight, in no particular order -
Beethoven
Tchaikovsky
Bruch
Brahms
Dvorak
Sibelius
Saint Saens 3
Vieuxtemps 4
The Vieuxtemps is my only recent addition to this list - listening to Hilary Hahn playing this live was a complete revelation and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
The final two places would have to be fought for by modern composers like Hindemith, Korngold, Shostakovich etc
No Mendy for me - one of the most overrated works in the repertoire for me but I should probably revisit it, a long time since I last heard it.

I do not know that many concertos so might struggle to get to 10
Beethoven I just love the maturity of this piece Played right and it sounds gorgeous
Sibelius Was my favourite for many years now at number 2 as I finally get why Beethoven is so special
Shostakovich is a piece of deep pain and sorrow but beautiful none the less
Bramhs
Tchaikovsky
Philip Glass Martin got me into this one and I still enjoy it
I heard Vieuxtemps and Korngold years ago and remember liking them but need to listen again
I am not the greatest Mendelssohn violin concerto fan it has never really held my attention

Yes it took me a long time to develop the appreciation I now have for the Beethoven.

Have you seen this Martin?
It's what made me put Vieuxtemps 4 into my 10.

That could make it onto my list. Will have a proper listen later.

Ah yes, I never think of the T4S as a concerto, but yes it should be in there!
Of course the Bach Double as well would go in, which makes a round ten for me.

Strictly speaking, T4S is four concertos.  |
