well I'm not a german but swiss (language problem ? tell me about it). german is my native language and so I know more about this piece.

A 17-minute audio essay by gg in german on bach can be heard on the german version of the 32 film soundtrack s2k 64315 , probably recorded in 1972 for german radio. this is no original piece, just a translation of one of his essays.
unfortunetly there is not that much info in the liner notes but I know where to look that up if anyone wants to know more his german doesn't sound that bad for someone who needed a trainer and who at least to my knowledge never had any german lessons.....
