Well since I wrote the comment in the first place I think I should 
explain myself.  I did reply but sent it to Phil only.

I think using "yikes" wasn't the right choice of wording.  I was just 
suprised to hear of the change over but when you think about it, it was 
going to happen sooner than later.  I've just seen Richard conduct and 
wan't overly inpressed.  I can't base my opinion on one evenings 
concert though.  As for a "band trainer" I have never sat under Richard 
so it wouldn't be fair to say anything at all.  I guess time will tell!
(future Enfield recordings).  He is certainly a very talented gentleman to 
say the least!
