Jonathan, were you listening to the ( just finished) Music Map on Radio 3 featuring this work?

My own opinion of this version is great misc but the speech interjections are a bit jarring with student performers from Guldhall if I recall.

Pete, I wasn’t listening to that, so it’s quite a coincidence that I decided to listen to it now!

I agree, so I skip those parts!
