Tchakovsky's violin concerto is the best (i.e. my favourite) that I've heard so far

By the way sorry if this is slightly off topic but can Beethoven's Choral Fantasy count as a concerto?

I'd say it was more a preparatory sketch for the 9th symphony.

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.

well, since I dislike "best of" threads, I'll include another choice as a "favorite" concerto:

Henri Dutilleux - Concerto for cello

On the subject of cello concerti, I also particularly love the Barber cello concerto, and the Schostakowitch concerti.

I'm trying to remember another one.. and for the life of me I can't remember... is it the Delius? or Elgar? Which one of those two wrote a beautiful cello concerto? God help me if both did! I'll never find out then!!!!

Well Elgar certainly wrote a beautiful cello concerto. Not sure whether or not Delius did.

If we had to agree on the "most perfect" Mozart piano concerto which would it be? 23? 24? 25?

I don't know, I love the middle movement of the A major concerto (number 23), but love the outer movements of the D minor (number 20). I would love to make a "complete" concerto out of those two.

Prokofiev's 3rd for piano. My favorite of all time. The man was a genius.
