This program is a treasure, presenting the most extended footage available of Walter in rehearsal. We are allowed to witness the conductor in his workshop as he molds the first and last movements of Brahms's Second Symphony with consummate skill. interview with Albert Goldberg, presented between the two rehearsal segments, Walter speaks candidly and at length about his long career, the art of conducting, the composers closest to his heart, and his views on contemporary music." - Bruno Walter biographer ERIK RYDING (excerpted from insert notes)
