Violin Concerto in D major, Opus 77 by Johannes Brahms

Brahms only wrote one violin concerto, but it was called one of the 4 great German violin concerti by Brahms' contemporary, violinist Joseph Joachim. Of course, he may have been a bit biased, as he was not only a friend of Brahms', but the very man Brahms dedicated the piece to.
