Thank you! I'll be getting the recording certainly! Though I would probably be more interested in King Saul. I really enjoyed Job on Hyperion and listen to it frequently.

Kudos to Chandos for undertaking the subsequent recording.

Absolutely, Alan. Hear, hear! I hope this heralds a return to form by Chandos as far as recording English music goes.

I never dreamt that I would ever be able to hear this. Great news indeed. I certainly hope to be at the concert and will certainly be first in the queue to buy the the CD's when available!

It is possible to hear the work in a good performance by the Pax Christi Chorale conducted by Stephanie Martin on you tube.
