Re: Lyrical/Expressive Concerto's?

I've listened and re-listened to the Finzi concerto with the two Collins' performances and have come to the following conclusion:

The 1988 performance in comparison to the 2012 recording is more exuberant and naturally flowing than the 2012 performance.

Maybe the 1988 performance is more spontaneous and rhapsodic, the 2012 performance while conducting the LSO being more "mature" the legato intervals (vocal intervals) are more apparent in the London Sinfonia (1988) performance and the pacing in the earlier performance are more naturally occurring to me.

He still "owns" this composition IMO and no one even comes close to his interpretation - his "spread" throat tones notwithstanding - but his own understanding of the work is unparalleled in the British pastoral style.
