All his symphonies (1-16), all written within the last 20 years are now on youtube. Some works have now been uploaded by the composer, and he's even replied to a post on his Symphony No.2! From the several I've heard, the recordings are excellent, orchestration good, but I'm finding them difficult to follow on first (and in some cases second)hearing, especially as the music is very episodic and over long spans, but some members may have no such problems. If you like a challenge, this may be for you! His two earlier (1983,87) string quartets are very good and to me, again at first hearing, better suited to his style.

The John McCabe Piano Concerto No.3 has been uploaded on TheMudfinger channel, and James Stuart has provided the performance details in the comments box, so presumably he either hasn't got it to post, or sees no point in uploading it again.

This can now be purchased on the Musicweb site. Like Colin, I used them for the Wordsworth and Hamilton and the discs arrived a few days after ordering from Wyastone (the producers), so this is a good way (I hope!) of getting your payment as close to the source as you can.
I ordered this before Musicweb added the bit 'available June' otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it. I got a reply saying hopefully within the week, or the distributor will contact me. I'm not desperate for this anyway, as the archive and cd recordings are fine. It was mainly to flag up the fact that in the past, Musicweb has been weeks ahead of the 'official' release date.

Thanks for the posting of the work. I have one too as a backup, and guess I had 28 days of iplayer had it gone wrong.
Well, what I first understood to be a 25 minute mass grew into a work with sections of the mass interspersed with narration and poetry, but I wasn’t sure if the poetry was sung or narrated. What we heard was quite different, substantially longer, very powerful, and successful I think in moving away from the mass to the interlude and narration over orchestra, which must take a lot of practice.
I only read about the Vernon Watkins connection (my post above) in relation to this broadcast but despite searching joint names, nothing now comes up, although what does come up, as one would expect, is that they, and Daniel Jones, were friends, and she had earlier set a Watkins’ poem. It seems that the Watkins link to the mass was wrong. Apologies (yet again!).
