Then the birds sing some more. The warbling of some of the instruments is like birds singing, and overall spirit is happy and joyful. From the first notes, the difference between Vanessa-Mae's version and the usual version is very obvious. For one thing, the instruments other than the solo violin do a lot more than usual, making this music sound much more complex and textured. This gives the effect of lots of birds singing not just one.
Timings are different, and notes are embellished.
Another big difference that is immediately obvious is that Vanessa-Mae and her colleagues decided to lose the harpsichord, and do the music purely with bowed instruments. The program descriptions in the Sony recording are different and more detailed than the poem in the liner notes of the VM disk. They say that this movement is about a sleeping goatherd, rustling of leaves and foilage, and a dog barking. The third movement is very much like the first, but perhaps a bit more stately, and without the effects of the birds. It is about a country dance.
