Tchaikovsky 'Italian Caprice' - Belohlavek conductsTchaikovsky 'Italian Caprice' - Belohlavek conducts
The 'Capriccio Italien' was written after Tchaikovsky had visited Italy in 1890. He predicted that it would be successful and this has proved to be the case. The present performance, given by Jiri Belohlavek and the BBC Symphony at the Last Night of the 2010 Proms, was the 77th time it had been played at the Proms since 1897. As will be heard, despite the inordinate amount of bronchial coughing, the audience loved it!

The works that Leopold Stokowski rehearsed in this 1970 TV programme have previously been uploaded separately: Barber's 'Adagio for Strings'; Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony; and Rachmaninoff's 'Paganini' Rhapsody with Jerome Lowenthal at the piano and the American Symphony Orchestra. However, for anyone wishing to see the whole programme uninterrupted, here it is again in complete form. The filming took place in the Madison Square Gardens new building and was one of the rehearsals for the opening concert there on 3 February 1968. Every bit as vital as a man half his age, Stokowski was then in his 87th year!

In a 1969 concert for school-children, Leonard Bernstein demonstrated the many different ways that Bach can be performed, ranging from the organ, via a Moog Synthesiser, to a rock group. A highlight of the programme was Stokowski's arrangement of Bach's 'Little Fugue' in G minor and for this performance, the Maestro himself conducted the New York Philharmonic.
