The Philharmonia Orchestra // This 'Royal Eurostar' recording is a celebration in music of one of the most important 20th-c. engineering feats: he building of the Channel Tunnel, and the creation of Waterloo International station. The Paul Patterson works were all composed for the State Opening of the tunnel on 6 May 1994 and are intended to exploit the extraordinary acoustic inside the new Waterloo station (including the constant 'pedal D' which comes from the train engines!).
