I will record and archive these.

You have reminded me, John, that I have a taped BBC broadcast of Rubbra's op.129 "In Die et Nocte Cantucum" for mixed voices and orchestra.
The reason I did not provide it was that it is disfigured by static interference in a number of places. I could however use Audacity to remove these. In doing so however I would, almost certainly, be removing a few bars of music too.
If you think this is worth doing I shall try to do my best ;D
Thanks, Colin. Yes, please could you upload this as it is otherwise unrecorded: it would be valuable to have even with interference, but if you can do some remedial work on it, even better.

Is it the BBC Chorus and SO under Peter Gellhorn (br. 13/4/1970)?
???
No, it is a broadcast from around 1979/80 by the BBC Concert Orchestra, conductor unknown.
