this is a fantastic document - surely we must find more of this. he seems a far better pianist here than he was in his recordings which were mostly later and very shambolic. it would be marvellous to have a video of him in the 2 Strauss works, Parergon and Panathenaenzug...if anyone found such a thing it would be terrific!!!!! :-)

Unbelievable. The Nazis stole their fortune estimated at $6 billion.

It seems as if in fact the whole concert has been recorded. Some people are now actually trying to get hold of a more complete copy from the french national tv company -- good luck!
