Thumbs up from me for AK.

Concerning Tor Aulin, I found this performance of the Third Violin Concerto:




And speaking of third violin concertos, consider the third one from Lera Auerbach:




"Meet Miss Ruth Sherwood, from Columbus, Ohio, the Middle of the Universe!"

Quote from: San Antone on October 29, 2024, 07:19:00 AMStravinsky's Violin Concerto in D, but also Bernstein's Serenade, after Plato's Symposium, not titled "concerto", but a composition for solo violin, strings and percussion.
Both of them superb!

Oh yes, it's an absolutely wondrous creation full of instantly memorable tunes and largely free of the bombast that can afflict his other works. It's easily in my top 5 VCs alongside the ones by Barber, Britten, Karłowicz, and Sibelius.
