It sounds like a pretty good hint. :-) Still, I don't know the CD,
though I heard him perform the Hymn to the Sun itself once at a Purcell
Room concert. Does he use period instruments on the recording?

I'm sure someone on the list will know for sure. Whatever, does he give
much information about what the evidence is, references to scholarly
articles or whatever? Any such articles might well be by him, so it
might be worth checking out his scholarly publications to see if there's
something relevant.
