A wonderful documentary about music on tv. Big names pass on the screen: Toscanini, Bernstein, the ever egotistic Karajan, Paul Tortelier, Stravinsky, Britten, Pink Floyd and many many more. Presented by a.o. Attenborough.
But we don't know everybody and why in godsname don't they put names under the talking heads?? We see beautiful concerts by all those famous conductors, but, again, no names of the compositions and/or composers or orchestras/conductors. Of course, most of th4m are that famous, that most of us will know. But how many people for instance know how the composer Olivier Messiaen looks like?
