Three wonderful concerts in just over a week left me wondering how long is long enough? At Norwich Cathedral last Friday Stephen Layton with Polyphony, Trinity College Choir and the Britten Sinfonia offered a concert of glorious Poulenc and Messiaen lasting 64 minutes excluding the interval. The second half comprised just the Poulenc Gloria,
which lasted 27 minutes. The duration of 64 minutes is, of course, the
length of a CD, which is no coincidence as the programme will be
recorded by Hyperion in the next few days for future CD release.
