I agree with you: the B flat Symphony sounds altogether more convincing. Maybe Potter wasn't really a C minor-key guy?

I didn't find the Concertante very convincing, I'm afraid. Very much small beer.

I listened to this recording several times, without losing interest. It's way better than the old BBC recording, faster tempo and greater dynamic contrast. Looping the Scherzo of the C minor several times. Really did justice to the symphonies. And I agree, the Concertante is not a good piece, I am removing it from the playlist every time.
