There also was a telecast series from Harvard in the late 50s or early 60s. The orchestra would cross the river 6 or 7 times a season to perform in one the the University's halls. > I don't remember when, but WGBH had a fire in their studios sometime in the 60's I believe and, I thought, lost many of these tapes. Wouldn't I love to hear Munch performing Roussel Bacchus et Ariane. I'm curious if anyone knows how much was lost in this fire. Regards, Tom Connor
