Production
A scene in which Colonel Malner and Major Kloss retrieve Sladek's pen from the piano, only to discover that it is a recording device, was filmed but deleted from the finished episode. Footage re-used from earlier Gerry Anderson series includes the shots of Sladek's monorail train (which originally appeared in the Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons episode "Model Spy"), and the Trans American TV Network building (part of a scene filmed but not used for Thunderbirds Are Go).
Incidental music was recorded on 20 March 1968 at Olympic Studios in London from 2 pm to 6 pm. Although titled as such, the eponymous International Concerto, composed by Barry Gray, does not fit the definition of a true concerto. Character Igor Sladek's piano recitals were performed by English pianist Robert Docker, while the child's hands seen in the live-action close-up shots of Joe playing the International Concerto belonged to Gray's son, Simon.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
