'Ave Maria, mater Dei' on BBC Radio 3 (again!)

I was thrilled to hear that my recent work Ave Maria, mater Dei was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 again this month, on Record Review. The piece was incredibly well received by the panel of critics and the CD as a whole was one of their Records of the Year. Some of the nice comments about my piece included: 'The Cooke is remarkable...in the background you get a flickering of candles, a halo of light, in the middle is a male choir adoring the Virgin'; 'The soprano solos in the Cooke are absolutely beautiful'; 'An incredibly striking piece'; 'An angelic halo effect...amazing...beautiful'. I'll take that.
