Hello. I am an amateurviolinist who is collecting violinconcerto’s on cd (now 85 cd’s). Who knows them all and who knows rare violinconconcerto’s I don’t have? Some violinconcerto’s are played too often in concerthalls, both with professional as amateurorchestra’s (with an professional violinsoloist), and are recorded too often on cd. For example Bruch (first one, I played it 3 times as second violin), Beethoven (2 times), Mendelssohn (in e, 3 times I played it, in re once), third Saint-Saens (3 times, 2 times as second and one time as first violin), Tjaikovsky (1 time), Brahms (2 times, one time in 1997 with Janine Jansen). I also played 2th Prokofiev, 2th Bartok, 2th Wieniawski, Dvorak. But there are MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL VIOLONCONCERTO’S you seldom hear in concerthalls unfortunately. Some are never recorded, so perhaps a professional violinplayer can record them for me, so I can buy them in a shop. Sorry for the room it takes on this website, but here is my list of NEVER recorded cd’s and recorded cd’s:

NEVER RECORDED VIOLINCONCERTO’S ON CD:
The first violinconcerto of Karol Josef Lipinski (1790-1861)
The first violinconcerto of Joseph Joachim (1831-1907)
The second violinconcerto of Karl Goldmark (1830-1915)
First part of the 8th violinconcerto of Henri Vieuxtemps (1820-1881)
www.classical-composers.org than V than Vieuxtemps (that is my source)
http://www.classical-composers.org/cgi-bin/ccd.cgi?comp=vieuxtem
The violinconcerto of Nikolaj Borisovitsj Yoessoepov (1827-1891) (a pupil of Vieuxtemps), also written as Youssoupov or Joessoepov
The 2 violinconcerto's of Ole Bull (1810-1880) (one slow part of these 2 has been recorded by Naxos on the cd "Norwegian violin favorites")
The 2 (unpublished) violinconcerto's of Camillo Sivori (1815-1894) (pupil of Paganini)
The 9 violinconcerto's of Pierre Baillot (1771-1842)
violinconcerto's 2-7,10 of Charles Auguste de Beriot (1802-1870) (I have the 7th from Naxos of Maud Powell violin/piano recorded in 1915, but there is no version of violin/orchestra)
The Dutch composer Willem Pijper has written a violinconcerto in 1939, which is never recorded on cd. On this Dutch site they mentioned this violinconcerto: http://www.klassiekemuziekgids.net/componisten/pijper.htm
