Luis,

Urban is a wonderful musician and trumpeter. I'll tell the story another day about giving him lessons in NYC years ago (pointless, as he had it far better together than I at that point. All I offered him was admiration and encouragement). I haven't heard this recording, however.

Generally speaking (variables being acoustic and ensemble clarity) I look for a tempo relationship between the outer movements in classical concerti, believing that symmetry and proportion are hallmarks of the era. I keep the same tactus in both, with the only difference being 4 beats to the bar in first movements and alla breve (2 beats to the bar) in third movements.

Works for me,
EC
