Better organised readers of this list will no doubt refer you to the
specific messages exploring Gibbons' music whih were weaving back and forth
just a few weeks ago. You refer to "copy/ies being worn out" and I wonder
if you are referring to:
Consort Musick of Byrd & Gibbons, GLENN GOULD, Sony (Canada?), WSK52589
which I believe is still in the Sony Canada catalog but unavailable in the
UK (maybe throughout Europe too). If so -- I have a tape transfer from a
v.old vinyl with dubious sound but it seems as you say a marvellously
serene record. How can I get the current CD version??
Best, Alun
