You have a computer within your grasp yet you are too lazy to google time zones ... come on, show some initiative!!

Well I did listen to the concert last night, it was LONG (2 and a half hours) but I enjoyed every second. John Chen's playing of the Beethoven 5th piano concerto was finely crafted and gorgeous and the Tchaikowsky Symphony 4.5 (Manfred) was thrilling. No a big fan of Sculthorpe, though his opening work was nice.

David, thanks for the ABC link do they have pod casts?? I missed the performance and thought it may be available as a down load.
The Radio NZ have a page which gives a free down load each month and it stays available for 2 months it is in mp3 @ 192kbps well worth a fiddle around with if you have time

Hey Colin, thanks - I'll book mark that.

Our orchestras, when they are broadcast, only remain in place for the event for various reasons (copyright and so forth). Sadly, this Sydney Symphony concert was a one off. All good.
