Great performance! The soloist's interpretation of the first movement cadenza and the second movement's main theme in particular are tasteful and sensitive

Such a wonderful concerto for a wonderful instrument.

Cecil Forsyth wrote a great orchestration book, an erudite, witty and insightful work. And, unlike many a composer, modestly refrained from including any of his own works as examples.

How interesting! And a superb soloist ...

Great piece and performance. Funny that Cecil Forsyth, in his orchestration book, as sounding like a duck!

All those crotchets moving like another 'Shostakovich' wannabe-composer in the 20th century?? Hard to follow in my opinion...
