I have been listening to the Stravinsky violin concerto lately. Readings by Hahn and Kopatchinskaja. I prefer the Kopatchinskaja because it is more "Russian" and the London Philharmonic under Jurowski sound like they are from Moscow or St Pete.
Do any of you have a favourite recording of this concerto?

I have two versions of this wonderful concerto, one with Isaac Stern and the Columbia Orchestra conducted by Stravinsky himself, but the one I most often listen too is Baibia Skride and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Thierry Fischer which also has the concerto by Frank Martin.

I love Stravinsky from when I was just out of college and bought The Firebird. i heard this on the radio driving home one day out in the desert doing 70mph, no traffic, pepped up Ford Focus.
