Of course Jascha Heifetz' recordings would be up there for me, but here are some other favorites:
Bruch Violin Concerto 1/Scottish Fantasy: Cho-liang Lin / CSO / Slatkin
Brahms Violin Concerto: Nathan Milstein / VPO / Jochum (he plays his own cadenza)
Beethoven Violin Concerto: Itzhak Perlman / Phil O / Giulini
Beethoven Violin Concert: Schneiderhan / BPO / Jochum
Mozart Violin Concerti: Artur Grumiaux / LSO / Davis
Sibelius and Nielsen Violin Concerti: Cho-liang Lin / Salonen
Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn Violin Concerti: Milstein / VPO / Abbado
Bach Violin Concerti: La Petite Bande
Elgar Violin Concerto: Nigel Kennedy / LPO / Handley
Other recordings I like:
Bruch Violin Concerto 1 / Mendelssohn Violin Concerto: Uto Ughi / LSO / Prêtre
Brahms Violin Concerto: Herman Krebbers / Concertgebouw / Haitink
Now, the Bruch G minor violin concerto is about as beautiful as anything ever written. When I heard Ughi`s recording in high school (I bought that CD mail order from England), I was just in awe. Wow! My wife loves it too.
