Great Conductors: Bruno Walter (1958)

A behind the scenes portrait of the Maestro and an interview with Albert Goldberg about the challenges of conducting. Bruno Walter is one of the outstanding conductors of our age. As he outlined the requirements of a symphony conductor, we cannot escape the feeling that here is a man who exemplifies those qualities of warmth and sincerity of which he speaks. This film records his first rehearsal with the Vancouver Festival Orchestra of Brahms' Symphony No. 2 in 1958.
