 This is a documentary on the career of the great maestro (perhaps intended as a rebuttal to the controversial book "Understanding Toscanini", which was being written at the same time that the documentary first aired. PBS aired it in 1988, a year after the book hit the stores.). The documentary features clips from several of Toscanini s television appearances, as well as from his only film appearance in 1943. It also includes rare color home movie footage of not only Toscanini, but Salzburg in the 1930 s during the Salzburg festival, as well as interviews with some of the surviving musicians, singers, and recording technicians who worked with him.
