Well, if it's 1929 it's not played by the composer. But of course there are the Mary Garden / Debussy songs and Pelléas extract from 1904. Is that what you meant to link?

Was that at Maida Vale? My big Drumming memory is of the later performance at the Hayward Gallery, during a Rothko exhibition,

Oh Lord, don't tell me I wasn't present at a prior performance at Mida Vale. I've dined out on my reminiscences of The Hayward Reich!!
