I do hope that some kind soul records this as I won't be able to.

Will try, too - but though I may be a 'kind soul' I will need a few fingers, anyway! ;)  ;D

For some reason Deutschlandradio had decided to broadcast only excerpts, interspersed with talks and other information. The whole programme took about 90 minutes. They faded in and out, talk and music often overlap. The easiest way - for me at least ;) - would be to upload the whole broadcast en bloc. However, if you prefer the excerpts only I would do that of course. :)

The opera was coproduced by the WDR. WDR 3 had even planned to broadcast it complete some weeks ago. For reasons unknown to me it was cancelled. However, a CD of the production will be released.

The best thing to do, I think, is simply to upload the whole programme.
Many thanks in advance!
