Yes, John. All performance material lost. To be brutally honest, they hadn't really looked after his legacy and one got the impression they weren't (or hadn't been) particularly interested.

Were the parts destroyed too?  Rachmaninoff's 1st Symphony was reassembled from the parts.

I feel sure it could be done. And Martin Yates would be just the man to do it.

A job for someone like Martin Yates, perhaps?

I've seen several comments both in this thread and on YouTube that this would be difficult, but possible for a composer of sufficient skill to achieve but that would no doubt also mean that it would be an expensive exercise. I've just been listening to the recording (which is still in our Downloads Board here, by the way) but it's very muddy and recessed, so a fair amount of imagination would be required too.

Oh dear, that's a blow for them. Thanks for the info, Mark.

Could the score be reconstructed from Mark's off-air recording?
