Talk:Doctor Ox's Experiment (opera)

Record of communication with Gavin Bryars
I contacted Gavin Bryars after I wrote most of this article because I could not find information on when Doctor Ox was broadcast and thought it must have been given it was a BBC co-commission. He has kindly provided some information which I have included in the article. I have also removed mention of the Russian performances that were mistakenly listed on the Schott site. I reproduce his email below in case there is ever a question on the accuracy of these points.


 * Dear Peter


 * The opera was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 - it was the third performance, I think, on June 24. I was away in Holland on that day so I couldn't be there.


 * My ensemble didn't perform it in Moscow and st petersbourg. I don't know where that can from. There was a performance of the original Epilogue version (1989) in Tallinn in october 2003 sung by Anna Maria Friman, with the NYYD E ensemble conducted by Olari Elts (I played the bass part). In November 1999 there was a performance of the duets for soprano and counter tenor from the opera, sung by Valdine Anderson and David James, in a special arrangement I made for my ensemble, at La Botanique in Brussels.


 * Thank you for taking the trouble - considerable trouble I would say - to create one of the very few accurate pieces of writing anywhere about my work!


 * With all good wishes


 * Gavin

suggestions
This looks like an interesting article but it badly needs copy editing. I suggest the WP:GOCE (Guild of copy editors). Perhaps you can get some help there for the obvious issues. There are problems in formating the references. Also, every quote needs a citation immediately after it. Plus common words, like the musical instruments, shouldn't be linked. Good luck, MathewTownsend (talk) 21:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
