Missing and important:

Bacewicz (I tend to prefer the earlier concertos, so I'd include No. 1)
KA Hartman: Concerto funebre
Bernstein: Serenade

A few more, of perhaps less importance in the repertoire:

Alwyn (a very beautiful concerto)
The 2 Piston concertos
Benjamin Lees
Fricker (coupled with the previously mentioned Dan Morgan concerto on a Lyrita CD).  One of Fricker's more appealing works.

I'm sure there are more that I've forgotten.

A big thumbs up for the K. A. Hartmann, Bacewicz and Bernstein! Fabulous works.

Karl Henning

Yes, the Hartmann and Bernstein were nec. additions.

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

It reminds me of this fun little meme I created:



Many years ago, when BBC Radio 3 used to have a Christmas quiz, contestants one year were asked to compose a limerick whose first line was "There was a composer named X".  David Owen Norris's contribution was:

There was a composer named Glass,
There was a composer named Glass,
There was a composer,
There was a composer,
There was a composer named Glass.

And shouldn't we have Davies and Janáček on the list?  Max definitely wrote a violin concerto and Janáček sort-of might have done.
