I believe that the original orchestrations had not yet been discovered at the time of the series of performances. As far as I can tell, the performance that was broadcast took place on December 13, 2013, and it was broadcast approximately a month later. The orchestrations, by Larry Blank (who also conducted), Patrick O’Neil and Antoine Lefort, were good but they were not the originals.
