Mendelssohn's famous Violin Concerto in E minor is technically his second; the first, for violin and strings, is in D minor and remains a rarity both in concert and on disc. It appears as a coupling in a some of these outstanding recordings of its big brother--perhaps THE iconic romantic violin concerto. Every violinist records it, but not all do it as well as the dozen artists featured here (with one epic failure tossed into the pot, just to make the point).
