Not me. Sounds like a great concert though. The focus on so much British music is interesting, considering the concert's title.

NP: First Knight (Jerry Goldsmith)

Too bad that you won't be able to make it.

Malcolm Arnold is the featured composer of course and it includes a world premiere.
Walton is included, because it's his centenary.
Both Jon Finch in Frenzy and DeNiro in Taxi Driver had Brückener as their German voice.

So his narration will be for the Taxi Driver suite? Hmm. By the way, any idea what the "v.d. Locht" means? I have the Palmer suite conducted by Salonen (spectacular), but this seems to be some modification of it.
