Re: Violin concerto vs Symphony for violin?

Author: Firebird

I would like to think that a Concerto is something to prominently feature a soloist like say Sibelius Violin Concerto or Rachmaninov Piano Concertos.

On the other hand, a Symphony will give the soloist less prominence and more equal footing with the orchestra, like say Lalo Symphonie Espagnole or like as mentioned earlier, Berlioz's Harold in Italy.

Perhaps we should let a real expert elaborate on this.
