French Music And French Musicians,Program 184-Therese Brenet

This series of records is from the late 1960's.The French Broadcasting System In North America present French Music And French Musicians.
These records are no doubt rare in that the individual programs (clocking in at  thirty minutes each) are divided between two different l.p. records (so thet the radio dj could make the smooth transition from part one to part two without having to break and turn over the record.)
These records are almost 50 years old, and so I imagine that finding the correct pairs to reproduce an entire show might be pretty difficult.

Another, more interesting feature is that the records contain in many cases broadcast premieres of compositions commisioned by the ORTF specially for these overseas broadcasts.
(This first post is one of these).
It seems quite possible to me that many of these contemporary pieces may not have ever subsequently received major label recordings, and might therefore be one-of-a-kind, unique items.

Each program begins with a spoken introduction-a brief biography of the composer and a short description of the work to be presented, with the principal soloists, orchestra and conductor named.
As the records have no covers and most are missing the typed paper insert, I might make errors in spelling the names of the musicians presenting these works.My apologies in advance.

Last year my father was lucky enough to find almost 100 of these l.p.'s and, as far as I know, all programs are complete. He's been sending me the modern music ones, and this is the first one I've decided to post.
Thanks, Beboppa Poppa!
