I hadn't realised Jorge Bolet had performed in Finland and while looking into it, I came across a film from Finnish television. Here he is in the Royal Albert Hall, London,

1 June 1978, before a performance of Liszt - speaking about Finnish conductor Paavo Berglund, whom he first met during his first tour of Australia in 1965.

(YLE, Finnish Broadcasting Company, 1979)


So this is Jorge one year after he was appointed Head of Curtis and after he recorded his first disc with Decca/L'Oiseau-lyre (Chopin-Godowsky), and two years after he returned to Japan.
