Actually today there was an uncharacteristic glitch in this respect on
Radio 3 - the announcement which preceded the choral evensong broadcast
from King's College Cambridge overspilled and obscured the beginning of
the introit (Allegri's Miserere!).  I haven't checked whether the 'Listen
Again' version on the internet has retained this though I suspect it
has!
