And it was exactly a month earlier that Bach's Concerto in D minot, conducted by Fernand Oubradous, was recorded live in the framework of the famous Salle Gaveau Sunday concerts.

As for the Prelude and fugue in C sharp major, it was broadcast in February 1971 (also live) in the course of a radio programme. 'Que savons-nous de la musique? (What do we know about music?)
