It had to happen. One of these days someone was going to go back to the family archives and revive the Finzi Violin Concerto. It was premiered in the 1920s under Sargent and was withdrawn by the composer with only the totally characteristic Introit (middle movement) surviving.
The violin concerto undergoes the same sort of history. It begins in 1925, so it's fairly early. Finzi disliked the first movement and threw it away. However, spurred by Vaughan Williams, he wrote another. Vaughan Williams conducted the once-again complete (though different) violin concerto in 1928.
Finzi In Years Defaced (orchestrations by the composer, Christian Alexander, Colin Matthews, Anthony Payne, Jeremy Dale Roberts and Judith Weir) Prelude, Op.25 Romance, Op.11 Concerto for Small Orchestra and Solo Violin
