For David, Britta and anyone else who is interested in William Pleeth,
there is a set of (8) one hour videos of him conducting Master Classes at
the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies.  The tapes were made
in celebration of Pleeth's 80th birthday.  They are not inexpensive, but
are of tremendous historical value.  For more info see:
