Includes silent footage of the father of modern conducting, Arthur Nikisch, in action; Bernstein rehearsing Shostakovich Symphony No. 5; Barbirolli rehearsing the Bruckner Seventh; Beecham in conversation and conducting the Faust ballet music; Richard Strauss conducting Till Eulenspiegel; Weingartner conducting the Freischuetz overture; and Bruno Walter in an interview and conducting the Mozart 40th and rehearsing the Brahms Second.
