Lorin Maazel conducts the New Philharmonia Orchestra
leader Emanuel Hurwitz

The newly appointed Musical Director of the Cleveland Orchestra and Associate Principal Conductor of the New Philharmonia Orchestra describes how it is that music has the power to evoke in him a strong and personal response.
To illustrate this he conducts excerpts from Bizet's "Carmen", Holst's "The Planets", Mahler's Fifth Symphony, Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale", Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite", Varese's "Ionisation", Wagner's "Gotterdammerung" and Bach's Suite No 3.

Deep in the south-west corner of Spain lies one of the most fascinating regions in Europe, the Flamenco - or flamingo - Triangle. It is a land shared by colourful People and colourful wildlife, their lives strongly intertwined. But now life is beginning to change.
What will happen to this land of bulls and horses, flamingos and eagles, flamenco and fiesta? What will become of the great sand dunes like the Sahara, the vast marshes full of wildfowl, the famous Coto Dofiana, and the remarkable pilgrimage to the Lady of the Dew?
