 The New York Philharmonic performs several works in a concert at Rockefeller Center s renowned Studio 8H, made famous by Arturo Toscanini, conductor of the NBC orchestra for 17 years (1937-54). The "floating studio," which is suspended in midair by cables within the building, was built to Toscanini s specifications during his tenure at NBC, and at the time was the most acoustically perfect studio devised. During the intermission, Mehta guides a portrait of Toscanini - including clips from his televised concerts.
