favorite concerto (NOT for a piano)

on: January 06, 2005, 08:46:24 PM

What's your favorite non-piano concerto?

My favorite concerto would have to be Sibelius's violin concerto in Dm.

Basically everything by Vivaldi.
His La Stravaganza Concertos are quite gorgeous.

The Haydn cello concerto - can't remember which one, but the more famous of the two. Gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

by Gliere, It's title something like "Concerto for Coloratura Voice and Orchestra" It's a vocal concerto -- no words, just a vocalise. Very haunting, heart-breaking melody, Russian flavor. The kind of music you can't resist listen to once you think of it.... (goes to listen to Gliere concerto)....
