- Episode Description
- Episodes 79 - 82 of Heritage feature Eugene Ormandy, conductor and music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra. He is interviewed by Max De Schauensee, chief music critic of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin and Edwin H. Schloss, chief music critic of the Philadelphia Inquirer. In this episode, Mr. Ormandy discusses the relationship of the musician to the audience, the influence of the conductors taste in the determination of an orchestral personality, the relationship of the soloist and the conductor, problems of choral conducting, and reminiscences of Arturo Toscanini.

- Series Description
- Through "Heritage," a selected group of prominent persons individually address themselves to broad areas of subject matter in fields where they are particularly qualified to speak. Rather than being a simple series of conventional pattern, this is a "series of series," where each guest appears on several episode in several formats (i.e. straight talk, interview, talk with small group, conversation). This series totaling 131 half-hour episodes was originally recorded on various formats including film and videotape. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
