I have no idea why I want to go to Tunis (Tunez). I think I did more way back when I first started tracing out countries from the Golden Book Atlas in the early 50s. (kept me out of trouble). I first heard this piece by Jacques Ibert in 1953 and again, can remember the record jacket and my sister's LP playing record player---you could stack records and they would plop down, the arm would swing out and you had the world in your mind.
I find the link to the orchestra playing interesting...as anything Asian Pacific Rim was nearly treason....back then. How things have changed.
