Erich Leinsdorf in Rehearsal (1984)

After many years as musical director of the Rochester Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Boston Symphony and the New York City Opera Company, and guest appearances with many of the world's leading orchestras, Leinsdorf continued to insist on the highest level of musician ship in everything he did.
Still active at the age of 80, Maestro Leinsdorf remained one of the great podium personalities of our time with a vast repertoire covering virtually every important section of the world's music literature.
This revealing documentary shows Erich Leinsdorf during rehearsals and in two concerts with the Symphony Orchestra Of The Sudwestfunk in Baden-Baden.
