Without a doubt, Charles Neidich's recording blows away all others! He plays
the piece at virtuoso tempos and adds his own cadenzas. Most recordings I've
listened to play the third movement way too slow. Michael Collins has a
decent recording of this concerto also. If you are learning this piece, don't
expect to play like Mr. Neidich right away! He triple tongues and plays
extremely fast. Good luck!
