Just wait until you've heard his #5 and #3!  (Oh, and his #2, #4 and
#7).  All the performances are being broadcast during next week on BBC
Radio 3, including the live concert Handley gave of your #1 and #6
(evening of Friday October 3rd).

I have to say that the live performance of #1, in particular, moved many
of us privileged to be in the audience deeply - we could hardly speak
at the interval, in the face of such passion, power and beauty as Handley
quarried from this extraordinary work.
