		The concert was recorded for broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 10th March as part of Radio 3's East Meets West series, and one would strongly hope and wish that the BBC would issue the whole of this exhilarating concert on a double or triple CD.

		The disc which was recorded in association with the BBC, and which has been used for subsequent broadcasts was made in London on the 13th and 20th November 1992, just two years after the death of Torch at the age of eighty-two.
