More details upcoming if I can manage to sort out the multiple copyright claims on this recording. I was excited to upload it because it is no longer available to watch on the BBC's iPlayer, nor by any other means to the best of my knowledge. This recording should not languish in some archive, unseen.
I DO hope I am able to resolve these difficulties because this is a work and a performance of signal cultural importance and record. With sincere goodwill, I hope I can do so].
