Thanks for the heads-up. I managed to catch it but was quite disappointed. The pipes were under-recorded most of the time and were often drowned out by the orchestra. The second (slow) movement raised my hopes for a while but sadly missed a golden opportunity to showcase the pipes, almost as though to composer didn't really know how to treat the instrument and tried to bend it into a classical mold instead of taking advantage of the traditional gendre that the pipes could have made available to him.
None of the above detracts from Kathryn's playing, she was superb!
