I know there isn't much of it but the microphone died soon afterwards.

I suppose that, if someone did, he/she would have done so before now.

I suppose I am left to talking to myself.

Who were the "artistes", why did they die, and is this a quotation from another work?

"La Mort" is a poem by Charles Baudelaire from his "Fleurs du Mal" series.  The "artistes" stands for all artists. It means when any artists dies.  I am not sure what you mean by quotation. It is the first section of a longer piece.  Unfortunately, the microphone died as I was recording it.  :)

It strikes me as rather elegant, clear harmony and texture ... but would have liked to hear some of the instruments a bit more -- the texture was rather predominated by flute and piano (is this intentional?) ... was this a mic problem maybe? Who was in Expose in the recording -- was it Nancy Ruffer on flute and James Clapperton/Ian Pace/Mark Knoop on piano?

You know your modern music players.  Are you connected to modern music making in London?
It is Nancy Ruffer on the flute. I can't remember the name of the pianist but it is not Ian Pace.  It wasn't professionally recorded and that is why it is not balanced properly.
