I haven't heard enough concertos, but I'm in love with Barber's Violin concerto. The second movement makes the whole piece.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.

I prefer the outer movements of 24 and 25, but 23 has the better middle movement.
#25 has a special significance for me, as it was the piece that "got me into" classical music. It's also rather unique in flavour.. the first two movements anyway.

Personally, I enjoy Shostakovich's 2nd Piano Concerto.

Not to get too far off topic, but the piece that got me into classical music was Bach's 3rd Brandenburg Concerto (Mvmt. 1).

I just can't stop listening to Gershwin's Concerto in F. It is just such sumptuous ear candy!
