Sir Charles Mackerras is one of the leading conductors of our time. He is now 83, though he shows no sign of slowing down.

In this podcast he talks about studying the original scores of Mozart and Handel, about studying with Maestro Vaclav Talich in Prague right after the Second World War, and about the operas of Janacek and Strauss.
