Addendum

János Sebestyén's first recording outside of Hungary was made in Paris during 1962. He recorded approximately thirty-five minutes of music on a Pleyel harpsichord for the well-known sound engineer André Charlin. Among the items recorded were Bach's Toccata in E minor (BWV 914) and Old Hungarian Dances arranged by Ferenc Farkas. These recordings were never commercially released but were later made available for broadcast by the Hungarian Radio.

János Sebestyén recorded an album of Russian piano music transcribed for harpsichord with sound engineer Thomas Gallia in Milan during April 1971. This recording included Prokofiev's Prelude (Op. 12, No. 7), Gavotte (Op. 32, No. 3), Rigaudon (Op. 12, No. 3); Shostakovich's Prelude in B-flat major (Op. 34, No. 21), Prelude in D minor (Op. 34, No. 24); Kabalevsky's Prelude in F major (Op. 35, No. 15), Prelude in D-flat major (Op. 35, No. 23), Prelude and Fugue in F major (Op. 61); as well as two Dances by Fikret Amirov. As with the above item, this recording was never commercially released but was later broadcast by the Hungarian Radio.

A videotape entitled MELÓDIA, published in Hungary by TELEVIDEO, includes Sebestyén playing Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C major (BWV 846) on a Sperrhake harpsichord. He is also joined by Lóránt Kovács for a performance of the Siciliano from Vivaldi's concerto Op. 3, No. 11 arranged for flute and organ. Sebestyén plays the Walcker organ at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest. The tape was published in 1993, but has no catalog number.
