Interview With Discovery Orchestra Conductor George Marriner Maull: A Four-and-a-Half-Year-Old Fell In Love With a Symphony Recording. Seventy Years Later, He Hasn’t Changed. By Isabelle Qi At age 75, George…
I just listened to the first episode of this (Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony) and can’t believe how fortunate I was to run across this on Prime.

I promise if you listen to one of these you will understand a piece as never before. And, I have discovered from past experiences with his lectures that I always listen to any given piece with a greater connection. These “home” viewings of Maull’s lectures are such a gift! Highly recommended.
