It looks like the San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas are making a series of these kinds of full-length video documentaries, with this approach of a combination of simple biographical history and music appreciation. Well-produced, and well worth sharing.

Saw a date of 2009 in one of them - so, these aren't all recent. But, being recently downloaded to Youtube, at least.

Yes, they have been around for a while, but they are all fantastic! I like the Shostakovitch but The Copland, Berlioz, Beethoven, Ives, Stravinsky, and Mahler are all great too!

These videos are great. I just saw one on Mahler's First Symphony and recommended it to the members of our community orchestra, which is scheduled to perform the work in October - that is if there is a 2020 season.

I loved the Mahler one - it brings the music (even more) to life!
