John Warrack examines the work of the conductor who this year will become the first Russian to hold the post of Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Taking part are Yehudi Menuhin, Robert Ponsonby, Bela Dekany and Alan Civil. The programme also includes extracts from records of Rozhdestvensky conducting music by several composers, including Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Britten, Sibelius and Berg.
The art historian and controversial curator of 20th-Century Art at New York's Metropolitan Museum, Henry Geldzahler is perhaps best-known in Britain through the numerous drawings of him by David Hockney. Earlier this year he was appointed Cultural Affairs Commissioner for New York by the incoming Mayor, and in conversation with Philip French he discusses the nature of this newly created post, the problems of financing cultural activities in America, and the special role of the arts in New York life.
