Did anyone manage to download last night's broadcast on Belgian Radio of Cesar Franck's opera "Stradella"?

My computer froze during the 3rd Act, though I managed to salvage the first two acts of this 1844 juvenalia, written when the composer was 15.

Speaking of young composers, I don't suppose that anyone has anything else but the overture of Arriaga's " Los Escavos Felices"?

According to Wikipedia, only the overture and some fragments of Arriaga's opera have survived.  Besides that, the string quartets, the symphony there's at least a dozen other works listed there (I've heard at least one, a concert aria from a broadcast recording if I remember, that was - as good as I'd expect given the four best-known works, that is, quite good indeed :) )

Wheesht

Deutschlandradio Kultur has scheduled this for rebroadcast tomorrow, Saturday 15 December from 7.05 pm CET

I have a copy of the Spanish relay of the Belgian broadcast. I can upload it if there's interest.
