    I'm looking forward to hearng the broadcast of that . It will, I think, be the first I've heard of Simon conducting Tippett or Vaughan Williams apart from a Berlin Tallis Fantasia some years ago. He has of course, done quite a bit of Elgar and Britten on disc.
    You may also recall the RVW 5 that he gave with the LSO at the 'lockdown' Proms in 2021.

      I was there as well, and also at the first concert. Both very enjoyable.
      "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

        I must have missed that Prom, unless it was one of my many memory lapses! Thanks forthe reminder.

          I suspect that he might be up for a certain prize. I am not 100% certain but very nearly so.
