Van Cliburn’s White House recital (complete) - 8 December 1987

Parts of this recital have been posted on YouTube by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. This is the complete recital from the “network feed“ within the White House. It includes several different angles than the internal White House archival tapes, with more focus on audience members. There are no real close ups of Cliburn as he plays, and the sound is variable and undistinguished.
