One of my favourite KaTe memories is from back in 1989 when TSW came out.
Thursday night, as usual, I was listening to Classical Record Review on the BBC
World Service. That program has a different guest each week that looks at their
favourite release of the week. Sure enough, the woman they brought out that
week had TSW as her pick of the week. The show's host nearly had a bird. He kept
saying how this would not be the sort of record his audience would be use to. This
woman said something to the effect of "Well, they should, because if they opened
their ears they would see that this is some of the best music being written anywhere
these days"

Made my day! :-)  I wish I remembered who the guest was, though.
