This is not one of those really nerdy music polls! If I accomplish nothing but give you the opportunity to listen to these beautiful pieces of music, then that's great!

For each link, I chose the video I personally thought best represents the composer's original intentions.

Also, remember that this is only a list of violin concertos. Other pieces that I would've included but are not concertos (bonus pieces!) are Bruch's Scottish Fantasy, Wienawski's Scherzo Tarantelle, and Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole (debatable whether or not it counts as a concerto, but i'll assume it's not).
