From Monday to Wednesday, they're playing the 6th-8th symphonies by the Blessed Max but it says that it's

Erm. From when exactly?
Am I being thick or something?

(Incidentally, has Max ever said anything about the exact nature of how symphonies 1-7 actually work as a cycle? I've seen some vague thoughts but nothing that seemed to hold much water)

Anyone planning to listen to these performances? I'm going to be at work, and I would listen again using the iPlayer but [see Computer thread. Remainder of post eaten in frustration]

Where's a whistling smiley (tOP-style - does anyone remember my choir of tapdancing Longmans?) when you need it?
