What a list!! Truly impressive. I was waiting patiently for your next video and it didn't disappoint. I'm in the process of writing down all the links so as to listen to each piece in its entirety. Thank you for all of your hard work in putting these videos together.

Your choices are always exquisite dear Kim ...each one of them caused goosebumps ...my first love was classic...I always smile when I get your notification...so much beauty grouped together...so much talent...amazing pieces indeed 🙏🌹

The most expressive musical instrument ever made. Maybe comparable to a soprano or a tenor in humans. Your collection is impressive, not only for the high excellence of the music pieces but also for the exquisite parts chosen... Great work Kim! I am waiting until the end to tell you my opinion about the last two! :-) Cheers, Eddy.

Thank you so much for the selection of these wonderful concerts! 💐💖

Thank you Kim for another exquisite selection. How blessed we are that you pour out your Melodious Heart this way. 🙏❤️🙌🏾

Hi Kim! I absolutely love the violin with it's ability to convey such incredibly deep emotion that reaches us down to our elemental cores. I love Saint-Saëns and Brahms ....the Philharmonia Orchestra is phenomenal!! My favorite here is Tchaikovsky...such a brilliant and passionate composer that knew how to build the music to tell a story.....and what a performance by Joshua Bell!! Outstanding compilation and expertly and professionally compiled! Much peace and love, ~Jackie

Great selections as usual. All of them wonderful. Thank you for making my day.

Impressive, superb video, as much for the work on the image as for the judicious choices of music. Bravo and thank you for this talented sharing! _François_

Beautiful violin beginnings. Great selection on concertos here. :)

Kim, these are all wonderful and beautiful choices...

I really like mendelssohn violion concerto. Best violin concerto in my opinion

!!!!!Genial!!!!!

Dear Kim, Thank you for these beautifully chosen and arranged openings from great violin concertos, some of which I did not know before. My personal favouite has always been Sibelius, but they are all magnificent. I wish you a wonderful evening and a perfect end to the week ! With warmest greetings, Paul

An amazing collection of diamonds!!! Thanks so much, Kim, For sharing! Best regards, Myrsini! :)

Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this.

Conciertos maravillosos e interpretaciones magistrales!!!

What a clever idea--just the intros. And the pieces and recordings you selected are superb!

my Number 1 here would be Paganini's Violin Concerto No.2 mvt 3: though it takes a great soloist and orchestra to give it the rousing, energetic spirit of the concerto to compliment the virtuosity of the soloist. A rousing piece that gets me pumped every single time I hear it! Love your list here to by the way!

Vera musica 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘❤️

Agree with more or less every single pick! I'm also a big fan of the 2nd movement of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Violin concerto in G minor and the 2nd (and 1st) movement from Richard Strauss' violin concerto in D minor.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for Mozart 3 for the longest time

Great choice. First movement from Tchaikovsky is my favorite

Beethoven’s violin concerto @ 4. Have you heard the composer’s OWN transcription of this masterpiece for the piano? Awesome. Daniel Barenboim has made a recording.

Next video: 10 craziest piano pieces

Very nice

I feel like Wieniawski'd first violin concerto should've been in there

Great list! 😊♥️♥️ I wanted to see Vieuxtemps 4 here though 😢

Great!

As always, thank you for this wonderful compilation. My vote goes for 1B! By the way, have you heard Kabalevsky's violin concerto? One of my favorites

Finally i can see your video again,after some break on youtube.what a beutiful list indeed,korngold and beethoven definetly my favourite here.but i think lalo symphonie espagnole should be here,because it is called symphony but many musician consider this as a violin concerto. feel free to correct me if i am wrong

💐Big like🤗👍

As usual wonderful choices!!! Please consider Barber’s Violin Concerto and the “Butterfly Lovers” Comcerto, first movements, as perhaps choices 13B and 13C.

Pressed on this video wondering whether Tchaikovsky or Mendelssohn would be first lol

Muy buena la selección. Me hubiera gustado escuchar también a Vivaldi. Gracias

I don't know why the third movements impressed my more in most cases...

Got it... I would definitely choose Pyotr Tchaikovsky as Nr. 1, although I admire Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy very much. But in the case of the Violin concerto, I am pretty decided for PT. I must add that I like Beethoven N.4, perhaps I would have taken him as Nr.3! :-) In any case the differences fall within the cloud of subjectivity, and as such, they are equally 'valid'... Best wishes dear Kim... Cheers, Eddy.

Great list, but I would of gone with Bruch #1 first movement instead of the second. The Bach double concerto and certainly some Vivaldi could’ve been on here too.

I'd love this for piano concertos. I can think of so many: Rach 2 and 3, Grieg, Schumann, Beethoven 4 and 5, and Trifonov Piano Concertos.

Bruch 🔥🔥

By hearing at first time, none of these intro concerts are so powerfull, tremendous and hilarious subliment as the paganini concerto no 1 in D mayor.

Like 430 🎶🎵🎶🎵

Glad to see you back, Kim. Now, where have I heard that melody from the Paganini??? :) I especially like the Bach - a melody he used in at least a couple of other pieces. And I think I prefer the Mendelssohn to The Tchaikovsky, but I'd need to listen more. Despite my love for the Romantic era Russians, I think Tchaikovsky gets a bit melodramatic at times.

Mendelssohn has the best Intro, hands down. Tchaikovsky is the best violin concerto, because it has a beautiful melody and is so grand.

I usually don't watch this selections, but this, on the violin concertos was right on. I understand your dilemma between the Tchaikovsky and the Mendelsohn concertos. Hard to pick one or the other. I thought of it when you made the comment about 1b and 1a. Although very similar, both very different ,Tchaikovsky's in D Major and Mendelsohn's in E Minor . Both introduce a solo for violin in the 1st movement. Tchaikovsky's a more difficult solo than Mendelsohn's, but then Mendelsohn composed his in the late 1830s early 1840s, Tchaikovsky composed his in the late 1870s. Perhaps he was inspired by Mendelsohn's solo and a added a grade of complexity.

Pretty good list. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Korngold concerto, I probably would have switched in a Vivaldi concerto like the 3rd movement of Summer, or the Khachaturian concerto.

3:35 dat posture

Great list! Have you heard Prokofiev 1, surely one of the most beautiful.

I always think the Tchaikovsky is my favorite, but then I hear the Mendelssohn and say, "Yeah -- that's the one!" I recognized a couple of the conductors (Gergiev conducting Joshua Bell, and Zubin Mehta -- of course -- with the Israel Phil); the one conducting the Mendelssohn looked quite familiar, but I think he just looks like some guy I used to know. [EDIT: Eliahu Inbal -- I guess I don't know him, but he has a twin in Los Angeles who used to be in the chairs-for-casinos business.]

Excellent selection in concertos, but not in soloists. Well every dilettanti has his favorite violinist... I guess. Maybe I am some subjectiv but prefer widely the ladies: Sarah, Hillary, Julia, Janine who does not appear, Sayaka, and others you!

💪🎵🎶🎻

Mendelssohn for ever! Ma Corelli, Vivaldi e Alban Berg dove sono?

Nice👍⚘⚘🔔⚘⚘🤝🤝

Handelich is so steady...

8:41 the video's lagging but okay XD

07:15 Bach, Vn Con 2 not 1.

This could be a good order for most unforgettable beginnings. The most sublime beginning is by Beethoven.

La Campanella is the best

Can I please get a track list

Please turn on your comments on your most recent video, I love reading every bodies thoughts and comments

🇹🇷😷

The Bach is the second, the first is the a minor one

Bruch concerto no 1, 1st movement opening? haha....

I think the collection could be improved by deleting eight or nine of them. Either that, or delete "great" from the title. Sorry, but to me, "great" means "great."

absolutely, Mendelssohn Violin Concerto is number one.

🌸🦋Fantastic, dear Kim !!🌟🌟🌟 I absolutely 💕A💕D💕O💕R💕E💕D💕 !!! Thank You very much for sharing !💐😘 Wish You a happy new week !🌟 Many kind greetings🌷🎶.. Natali🌸🦋

The fast heartbeat I get at such virtuosity... your choices are always most exquisite dear Kim... you have taste and a most good ear... my roots come from classic... I eventually took a road of my own... but my feet come steady on the ground when I listen to such pieces... I don't play the violin... but I listen to it so very gladly... thank you for this exceptional collection 🙏🌹

A delicious bakers dozen! Wonderful! Thank you so much and please stay well.

Ah....I know it's your personal taste, but some great beginnings are missing IMHO ^^ Mozart concerto 5, Szymanowski concerto 1, Bartok concerto 2, Prokofiev concerto 2 and of course the Berg concerto. 😅

Such amazing talents...........incredible !!! Thank you for this beautiful share dear Kim ! Hope all is fine at your side dear friend !? Long not heard from you.......wish you all the best ! Hugs, Karen :-))

How could not not include the start of Bartok's 2nd Violin Concerto? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KbAaM9tIYhs.html&ab_channel=BartjeBartmans

A mixed bag, since you include some movements that are not the beginning and edit out orchestral introductions. But, enjoyable nonetheless. Using your methodology, I would have included the 3rd mvt of the Brahms and Sibelius.

I just find it annoying that the video of perlman's brahms is so out of sync

It's bach's 2nd concerto not the first.
