Your renditions could need some additional consideration of all the available parameters: are you using the expression (#11, or modwheel #1 for GPO) to its full extend, for each instrument individual, to create crescendi and diminuendi? Which sequencer are you using? There could be more tempo changes throughout each piece, even throughout each bar. Also, you can adjust the attack of each note by changing its velocity. Using a sequencer will allow you doing this graphically, just by drawing, instead of editing each value manually. The precise numerical value is not really important there, just the overall feel. A less dry sound can be achieved by setting the "effects" in the Aria player to "concert hall 1" - that is what I use most of the time, without even changing the default settings for it. "cathedral" would probably be too mushy, but most of the other reverb environments are too dry for my taste.
Many regards, and best wishes!
Reinhold
