    		Goldmark it is. His violin concerto is an extraordinary
    work, comparable to Mendelssohn's E minor or first Bruch's.
    But contrary with the hundreds or recordings of those, Goldmark's has been recorded maybe a dozen times in all.
    It's known that he write a second v.c.,but it wasn't published so far.

    		During Goldmark's lifetime the VC was not among his most popular works - he was best known for his opera "The Queen of Sheba" based on the biblical story. The VC was premiered in 1877 in Bremen, with the composer at the podium.

    I have heard the concerto live, and have a recording. It is a shame that it's not played more often.
