Well, it takes all sorts, but I caught the Sibelius 3 in its repeat this week and loved the interpretation, particularly aided by exemplary R3 broadcast quality. It is a terrible shame that the repeats are broadcast in lower bit rates (160kbps)! This may be the subject of other threads that I have not pickd up...
