I managed to listen to the broadcast this week also. As Richard mentioned,
the pipes were quite subdued in the mix, and that was disappointing.
Enjoyed it anyway.

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!
Just my 2 pence work,
Richard

Probably won't be available after today though, as they take them down
after seven days - may not even be available later this evening.
I'm in no position to comment on Kathryn's playing style but it
certainly doesn't sound like the sort of pipe music she usually plays on
her albums. Of course, on her albums she's not got the Northern Sinfonia
playing with her either.
Tis good.

The BBC seems to be having difficulty with the archiving feature; they
have 'Performance on 3' archived for all days this week but friday.
At the top of their radio player
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio3.shtml) it currently says We
regret that many programmes are unavailable. We are working to restore
normal service... so hopefully it'll show up soon.
