I have performed this concerto in the past, a few times. Firstly, I observed his fingerings, and it is apparent that he is playing in C - major. The composition is in D - major, so I think the ensemble recorded it a step down from how it was actually composed. Actually those fingerings are easier in C major than in D major. I once performed it with an ensemble in D major, but used an alto lute in "a", so it had the same relative tuning as he used.
