Kyung Wha Chung made my favorite recording paired with the Bruch (you know she studied with szigeti ?)
Francescatti I like almost as much as much, Kogan made a good recording and I like Kreisler also (how can someone not like Kreisler)?
...I actually like the young mutter dvd alot but not as much as the above recordings
Other than that, I know what you mean. I could spend a lifetime practicing the first 20 notes with those friggin octaves. If you practice octaves every day and get good at them I would imagine the concerto would be alot easier (I suspect this is why heifetz practiced scales so much)

I didn't even like this piece until I heard Kreisler's 1936 Barbirolli/LPO recording. That is when the 'a-ha' happened. Also, according to the recent thread, my 1982 Henle is sadly behind the times. Do you play D# in measure 173? Also, I agree about playing with the score. Which edition do you use? I have the Dover "Great Romantic Violin Concertos" cheapie. And yes, this too has the passe D# in measure 173...is there a more scholarly edition you recommend? Thank you.
