In 1988, Paul McCartney was asked to write a piece to commemorate The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's 150th Anniversary.  Composed with the help of Carl Davis, the eight movement Oratorio premiered in June of 1991.  In the audience that evening was Allan Kozinn; whom was the classical arts writer for the New York Times.  He was there to review the performance.  [As seen originally in print at https://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/29/arts/review-music-crossover-dream-comes-true-liverpool-philharmonic-plays-mccartney-s.html ]  Enjoy the chat between Tom Hunyady and Allan Kozinn to discuss all things Liverpool Oratorio.  David comes back to life at the end for an open discussion with the gang.
