Nice! Danny Driver's face is a joy, and Andrew Litton is fun. This 'concerto' has had several outings over the years, of course, beginning with its premiere at the Hoffnung Festival in 1956, with Hoffnung conducting, but I think this is the best.

I'm just too young to have encountered Hoffnung, but my father introduced me to his concerts and recordings (I think he must met him through the bank he worked for). What a sad loss he was at the age of only 34.
