	John Corigliano: A Dylan Thomas Trilogy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		John Corigliano's treatment of Dylan Thomas is a similarly large-scale undertaking: playing for 75 minutes and setting four of the poet's most personal texts, with their birth-to-death perspective on creativity.
		The three settings made a logical triptych, but Corigliano was keen to offset the prevailing pastoral mood of the earlier two pieces, and found the means to do so as recently as 1996, with Author's Prologue; almost Thomas's last creation and full of battered defiance in the face of the darkness overwhelming him.
		That the work failed to make a convincing impression was clearly not the fault of Slatkin, who encouraged the composer to expand his work into its definitive form, and who obtained a whole-hearted response from the BBC forces; the chorus in particular rising to the challenge with assurance.
