We will be giving the European premiere in Liverpool, as part of the Liverpool City of Culture Festival, in November 08.

Okay, I found an excerpt of it on the internet that is proper, and yes, it sounds much nicer.

The playing seems fine. BUT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MUSIC??? SOUND LIKE A LOAD OF RANDOM NOISE TO ME. AWFUL! Why waste your musical ability on this rubbish thats supposed to be music. Play Mozart instead. (Oh and by the way, im not an old crone stuck in my ways, before anyone jumps to conclusions im 25)

Oh, relax. Honestly.

cool story bro

Chill out. It's pretty arrogant of you to assume everyone has to like a certain style of music or it makes them inferior to you intellectually.

I happen to like this song after listening to it on NPR, and I happened to hate it in this video. The problem in this video is that the piano bit is jarring. It's too loud and it sounds much worse here than it does in the actual song. But it's the first rehearsal so whatever.

Great song, and wonderfully composed, but get off your high horse geez...

yeah, that sounds GREAT! :))

much better than the snippet on myspace

I actually found it by Googling "Double Sextet", as the NPR article listed there has an excerpt from it.
