Well, in this case, it seems the Dowland CD was recorded before, but sold afterwards. Someone must have missed the bus. I imagine that you begin to record when you are happy with your performance, and then when you are really happy with your recording, you want people to hear your performance live. I suppose that is a logic, which is not just economical. Especially, if you use your recording to tweak your playing, and your playing to tweak your recording, as you seem to be doing. I dare say that performing in public gives you a renewed concentration and the interplay with the public will effect expressivity, so another recording live would be very nice; and then when the tour is over, yet another to capture your state of superior maturation (I see talk of wine). An impossible programme, no doubt, especially if you are working with a major recording company.
