This is a classic recording. This was recorded in 1967. This is taken off of the original record – MHS 1405 – rather than the re-issue LP because the quality of that record was better. The full personnell for the recording:
Maurice Allard, bsn; Annie d’Arco, pno; Suzanne Cotelle, hp; P.F. Paillard Chamber Orchestra conducted by Andre Jolivet.
Digitized by my Zoom H4 into .wav, then edited in Audacity under Linux to remove some clicks and pops and split the two tracks.
This has been officially remastered on CD, but it’s a rare find.
Edit: I’ve fixed the links and put the files on a new server, so there is a listenable file now if you follow the fancy links.

/ October 7, 2008The recording is still under copyright, so I can’t do that, although if you’re clever you can figure out how to save them from here.

Your link to Maurice Allard’s recording of The Jolivet Bassoon Concerto doesn’t work anymore. It’s a shame because it is a great recording.
Best,

/ July 27, 2009I know, unfortunately it was hosted on my ISPs webserver, and I recently changed ISPs, so that account was deleted. I will be able to re-upload it soon.
