About

Featuring the greatest names in classical music, the popular Classic Archive series offers an historical glimpse into our classical heritage. The programmes feature generous full length and complete musical performances coupled with encore material and rare bonus footage. Each episode (some in colour, some in black and white) conjures up the feel of the period and the experience of hearing musical legends at the height of their powers.
 
Much of this archive footage from 1950-1975 has been made available from two of the richest television archives in the world: the BBC in the UK and INA in France. Many programmes have not been seen publicly since their initial broadcast.
 
Lovingly restored using the best sound and visual techniques available today, the Classic Archive series is an indispensable source of reference, and an original and moving testimonial to some of the greatest moments of our musical past.
