That would have been The Art of Conducting: Great Conductors of the Past.
It is available on VHS, but still not on DVD:

   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6303276849/classicalnetA/

There was a sequel to that as well, called The Art of Conducting:
Legendary Conductors of a Golden Era:

   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6304707819/classicalnetA/

I want to get them myself, but I hate buying VHS tapes, when -- especially
for something like this -- DVD is so much better.

(I am not now, nor have I ever been a member, an employee or subject of
Amazon or any of its affiliates, potentates and powers.)
