Word from Boston is that the archives of Boston Symphony Orchestra telecasts from the 50s to mid-70s are being licensed for commercial release on DVDs from Video Artist International. Initial releases will include Munch in a Berlioz program, a Barbirolli guest appearance, and Monteux leading Brahms, Hindemith, and Stravinsky ("Petrouchka"). WGBH telecasts of performances led by Leinsdorf, Ozawa, and several eminent guests are expected to follow. Having seen the Monteux evening on a private videocasette (along with excerpts of Munch conducting "Symphonie Fantastique"), I'm looking forward to rekindling the memories of some great evenings at Symphony Hall, introduced by the dulcet tones of William Pierce. We're making a Christmas wish list starting right now. Dick Claeys Saratoga, CA
