Subject: [kl] The enigma of K621b

> A while back Dan Leeson reported that there was a film called "The
> Enigma of K621b" by Gilles Thomé. I'm having a copy of this wonderful
> film made for myself at the moment but the tone is rather poor quality.

> Today, my colleage Alain, who is befriended with Gilles Thomé, lent me a
> double CD entitled "Une Soiree chez les Jacquin" featuring Thomé on
> clarinette and basset horn. I'm letting it flow over me at this very
> moment. Soon I will also be able to listen to it more concentratedly.
> All the music from the film is on it - and more! And of course in CD
> quality instead of VHS. There is also a booklet of over 70 pages, half
> in French, half English. Very informative with sections contributed by
> Thomé, René Terrasson, HC Robbins Landon (who was in the film), Nicholas
> Shackleton (who is on this list - did you know about your article being

> On the lighter side, on p. 38 there is a photo of Thomé wearing nothing

> The booklet and the cover is beautifully done but not very informative
