Other news from James is that his concert film of his Book of Flames and Shadows  (Libro di fiammelle e ombre) was premiered recently and is available for several weeks on YouTube.  It was promoted by Musicon, the Durham University concert series .  There are several other noteworthy online concerts still available to view on their website, including another of James’ pieces, still here, which he recorded with the violinist Sophie Appleton in November.
