Tom Service presents the last of six recordings from the BBC Archives celebrating 40 years of Radio 3.
Pierre Boulez's tenure as the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor from 1971-1975 is widely thought of as a high point in the orchestra's history. One of Boulez's last concerts at the helm was recorded in Yokohama in 1975 as part of a Japanese tour and is a telling showcase of their partnership.
