This is good but, as the french Culture minister,it would be better to post something with the Orchestre National de France, of which he was Music Director early this century. I remember specially a splendid Beethoven 5th at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.
Maestro bowed to his orchestra at the end. What a beautiful gesture.
