So this is technically last week's update but nonetheless, it's here now.

The next installment of the Top 100 Classical Concertos finds attraction with the piano and the violin with two apiece and then as noted above, a concerto for lute finds its way into the mix.

The next 5: 79-75

79. Bach Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV1042

Elissa Lee Koljonen performs the 1st movement with the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, conducted by James Judd.

78. Shostakovich Violin Concerto No.1 in A minor, Op.77

Sayaka Shoji performs the third movement with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Charles Dutoit.

77. Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.3 in C Major, op.26

Olli Mustonen performs the first movement with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sakari Oramo.

76. Mozart Piano Concerto No.9 in E-flat Major, K.271

Mitsuko Uchida performs the third movement with the Mozarteum Orchestra, conducted by Jeffrey Tate.

75. Vivaldi Lute Concerto in D Major, RV93

John Williams performs the first two movements with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Sevilla, conducted by Jose Buenagu.

Technically, in reference to the title of the post the Lute concerto wins as it is ranked the highest out of the group. Though personally, I would have the Shostakovich much higher on the list, and the Prokofiev and the Mozart, heck the Bach as well.

So comes the first installment where I don't necessarily agree with the placement of the concertos. I'm sure there will be many more.

As for the Mozart video, I'm sure some will notice it's been used a lot now but I just find it as such a perfect interpretation, plus great quality.
