Tony Duggan waxes astrophysically:

I for one would be VERY interested in a report from Tony (or anyone else
lucky enough to get the Beeb) on what this turns out to be like.  There
seems to be a great deal of "I think this is what the composer must have
meant" in completing 'unfinished' works of late and I'm curious as to
whether this sounds Holstian or Mathews-like!
