sawylIts the fiftieth anniversary of the consecration of Coventry Cathedral and R3 have been marking it with a series of programmes. Giles Frazer presented a piece on the history, reconstruction and legacy of the rebuilding, while tonight's concert was a live relay of Britten's War Requiem from the cathedral.
(The R3 web site mentions that the concert was broadcast live on the radio and simultaneously on European television. I wonder if this means broadcast as a sound only signal or whether it means televised with actual pictures and everything?
ETA: It seems there is a televised version, available here to UK viewers)
