With this release we introduce a new digipack series 'In Rehearsal & Performance', featuring works of the great conductors of the past.

This release marks an extraordinary performance under the baton of Erich Leinsdorf, who was principal conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, musical director of the New York City Opera, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and director of the Tanglewood Festival.

Erich Leinsdorf always insisted on the highest level of musicianship in everything he did and he was always able to maintain this level of perfection for a vast repertoire covering virtually every important section of the world's music literature.

These four television concerts show Erich Leinsdorf during rehearsals with the Symphony Orchestra of the Südwestfunk in Baden-Baden with Preludes and Interludes from Parsifal and Schumann's 4th Symphony.

The rehearsals are complemented by the complete performances of the works.
