I do too. Unfortunately, despite its glories, it is almost never played in concert anymore. Instead we get the same old warhorses, over and over and over.
There are other great violin concertos that are even more rarely played in concert. Audience loss, for sure. Thankfully, some labels specialize in recordings of forgotten masterpieces. I love CPO and Sterling and other specialty labels!

I was accompanying a couple of students this past weekend in one of the local competitions (Oakland East Bay Symphony's Young Artist Competition), and one of the competitors I played for did the Bruch No. 2 - but she had to get special permission when she entered in order to play it! I guess the judges liked the change of repertoire because she ended up winning first prize! It's actually not a bad piece - and it was a welcome change for me from the innumerable Bruch No. 1's over the years! ;-)
