Leopold Stokowski made his first appearance with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1912. Sixty years later, the nonagenarian conductor delighted London audiences with a repeat performance of the original concert. Today's programme recreates the event, which was broadcast live from the Royal Festival Hall in 1972.
