From the EIF Archive, Messiaen: Eclairs sur l'au-dela (BBCSSO, Volkov)

I have not yet listened to tonight's recording from the Archive. Was the year of the performance mentioned? There is no such reference in the online listing. Just wondering whether this is its first time at 320kbps AAC-LC?

Aha! 2008, so yes, first time in 'HD Sound'.

Likewise, the other items on the programme have not previously been available in such relatively high aural definition. I'm not that enthusiastic about the Adès but the Mozart us surely a must.
