Perhaps this has been covered previously, but I'd love to know what some of you (General, Tao, Tang, Ked, Bill, others?) would recommend as the finest performances of these great violin works. Recording quality is SECONDARY. Musical performance is PRIMARY.
Which performances of these, format irrelevant, would you take to a desert island?
Bach - Partita No. 2, Chaconne in D minor
Beethoven Violin Concerto, Op. 61
Brahms Violin Concerto, Op. 77
Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1, Op. 26
Dvorak - Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op.53
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, Op. 64
Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3, K. 216
Paganini - Violin Concerto No. 1 In D Major, Op. 6
Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1 in D
Sibelius Violin Concerto, Op. 47
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, Op. 35
( I know I've left off some greats such as Bartok, Berg, Shostakovich, Saint Saëns and many others but I'm mainly interested in the above pieces so please just respond to this list).
