I have heard the Babadzhanyan. Not a bad piece.

Some A's and B's (I don't seem to be able to offer any C's) for you from my collection:

John Adams (wonderful)

William Alwyn (a rather disappointing piece from a composer I usually enjoy)

Arensky (very Tchaikovskian)

Tor Aulin (big Romantic piece)

Berwald (not his best, but worth hearing)

Bax (worth a listen)

Havergal Brian (a tough nut to crack)

CONSTANTINESCU Paul.

CHAVEZ.

CHEVREUILLE Raymond. Nº2

CZARNECKI Stawomir: for violin and strings

Janiewicz:



Paderewski:



Lipiński:



Młynarski:

DEVREESE Godfried Nº1.
DIAMOND David Nº2.
DIETRICH Albert.
DMITRIEV Georgi.

I have the Diamond. I quite like his music. Some other little-known D's to recommend:


Dohnányi, Ernő (2 late Romantic concertos with a subtle Hungarian feel)

Dutilleux, Henri - L'arbre des songes (one of the finest of all 20th-century violin concertos)

Dyson, George (wonderful post-Elgarian concerto)

Have Dohnnanyi & Dyson. I wouldn't name those.

EIGES Oleg.
EINEM Gottfried von.
EGGE Klaus.
ELLING Catharinus.

ERKIN Ulvi Cermal.
ESHPAI Andrei: Nº2.
FAURE unfinished concerto, only first movement.
FINZI Gerald.

Tan Dun violin concerto, premiere around 2010 by Lin Cho Liang, saw it in Singapore. It used a drum set. Up till now I think no recording yet.

There are probably hundreds not recorded yet. And similar quantity nor even published, like the second violin concerto by Karl Goldmark.
