Another performer about whom I know very little, however the solid writing and excellent presentation made the preparation a pleasure. Did my best with track splits and titles; all corrections or help of any kind very welcome. The torrent has applause in balance, many talk and some music levels raised, and hoots, etc. removed or reduced. It is a fresh transfer from my master and therefore will differ from previous versions of this performance, if any.

Fault: Frequent, generally mild, audience chatter.
