Prokofiev - Violin concerto no. 1
Sibelius - Violin concerto
Tchaikovsky - Violin concerto
Brahms - Violin concerto
Mendelssohn - Violin concerto
Beethoven - Violin concerto
Mozart - Violin concerto no. 5
Berg - Violin concerto
Haydn - Trumpet concerto

Not in the hundreds, but I have heard a fair few dozen others. I mean I love him, but he is a little bit like Henselt in that he kept writing the same thing over and over again - I think the Seasons is where he nailed it, and if you like those you’ll like just about everything else too since the remaining concertos are mostly variations of the same artistic ideas. But what a world he has given us - one of the many favourites outside the Seasons is this, which should be familiar to anyone who has looked in to Bach’s organ works: YouTube

Seems dominated by the Violin and Cello concerti. Aside from some obvious ones (Mozart Clarinet Concerto, Horn Concertos, etc.) here are some other favorites:
Poulenc - Organ Concerto
Jongen - Organ Symphonie Concertante
Bartok - Viola Concerto
Kraft - Timpani Concerto
Nielsen - Flute Concerto
Vaughan Williams - Tuba Concerto
and these
Bartok - Concerto for Orchestra (had to sneak that one in)
Bach - Brandenburg Concertos 
Do Concertos for the 176 count?

Sibelius VC.

Check out Sibelius’ original edition of the VC with Kavakos. It restores a lot of good material that Sibelius cut in his effort to make it tighter. I now prefer the original to the revised (same with Rach PC 4).

I’ve been listening to Violin Concertos a lot this month.
First, some concertos I think a little overrated:
-Mendelssohn
-Bruch
-Brahms
-Vieuxtemps
The two that are probably the most highly regarded, I agree are regarded this way for a reason, because they are spectacular:
-Tchaikovsky
-Sibelius
And other great ones I’ve listened to recently:
-Barber & Meyer (Hahn recording)
-Mozart 3, 4, 5
-Beethoven (would rank it up there with tchaik and Sibelius)
-Schoenberg (dis shit is juzt CRAYZ…SDC worthy piece)
-Prokofiev 1
-Shostakovich 1
There’s also this cool DG record of orchestrations of Shostakovich Violin/Viola Sonatas:
For the more adventuresome, I recommend the Berg and Bartok 2 VC’s.

For juicy romantic types, check out the Glazunov and Conus, both concertos in a one movement mold, ala the Liszt 1st.

Give Dvorak a try. Lovely concerto.
And just to show you how subjective music appreciation is… I absolutely LOVE the Mendelssohn and Brahms concertos and think Tchaikovsky is a bit overrated. Love the Sibelius though, that much we can agree on.
