Santu De Silva <[log in to unmask]> asks: >Wasn't there a DVD (or videotape) of a number of so-called great conductors >a few years ago? Yes, there was and is "The Great Conductors" in both formats. There is now also "The Great Pianists" & "The Great Violinists". With regard to the former, I found the sections on Barbirolli, Klemperer & Reiner to be most entertaining & those on Szell, Walter & Furtwangler to be most instructive. Geoffrey Gaskell
