Interesting question! Bartok Violin Concerto no 2 & the Stravinsky concerto are my two all-time favourites, but I also love the Sibelius & Brahms concertos, as well as Brandenburg 4 (with recorders) & the Four Seasons. I seem to recall also really liking the John Adams & Alban Berg concertos, but my CD collection has been in storage since we moved so I haven't heard them in a long while. Wikipedia reminds me to add Arvo Part's Fratres.
