What Violin Concertos is all about

A violin concerto is a concerto for solo violin (quite often, two or much more violins) and instrumental ensemble, customarily orchestra. Such functions have already been composed since the Baroque period, at the time the solo concerto form was firstly created, up throughout the current time.

Several most important composers have contributed for the violin concerto arsenal, along with one of the best known operates including composers by Bach, Barber, Bartók, Beethoven, Berg, Brahms, Bruch, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Paganini, Prokofiev, Schoenberg, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi. Typically a three-movement function, the main violin concerto have been organized in four movements by many modern day composers, including Shostakovich, Igor Stravinsky, and Berg (in the latter, the first two and last two movements are connected, while using only break coming between the second and third).

In some violin concertos, especially from the Baroque and current period, the violin (or group of violins) is accompanied by a chamber ensemble instead of an orchestra—as an example, Vivaldi's L'estro armonico, actually scored for four violins, two violas, cello, and continuo, and Allan Pettersson's 1st concerto, for violin and string quartet. Some violinist may have started at such a young age and others don't, no matter what age you are, I believe you can be good at one thing when you set your mind to it, anyone can be exceptional when they have the determination, patience and discipline to be an expert at one area specially being a violinist which would take time and a lot of patience to be really good at it.

Elgar Cello Concerto?

I'm interested in hearing a recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto with Rostropovich. I'm aware that he stopped recording it after hearing Du Pre's version, but I'm still curious to see if there are any old versions floating around...if so, can somebody show me where to get it?

To my knowledge, there are three recordings of Rostropvich playing the Elgar concerto. All of them are from the late 1950s/early-mid 1960s and pre-date the release of Jacqueine du Pré's famous recording (so, it seems the anecdote is true!). The recordings are as follows:

with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Natan Rakhlin (rec 28 November 1958)

http://www.amazon.com/Elgar-Concerto-Symphony-Orchestra-Performance/dp/B000006BB9

with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky (rec 20 April 1964)

with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky (rec 7 January 1965)

http://www.amazon.com/Haydn-Saint-Sa%C3%ABns-Elgar-Cello-Concertos/dp/B000I2IS7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1266312646&sr=1-1-spell

They are magnificent. Enjoy!

Well-Tempered Clavier Recording?

What are the best recordings of Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" and the six partitas? Also, any other good Bach pieces for piano?

Thank you

Of the most famous complete keyboard recordings by Bach are Glenn Gould's.
However I prefer the following wonderful recordings:

-The Well Tempered Clavier : Vladimir Ashkenazy.
-English, Frensh Suites and Partitas : Andras Schiff.
