The French conductor Georges Pretre had to cancel all engagements in his 91st year after breaking a leg.

But that was last year.

He’s back this morning rehearsing the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, with whom he holds the title of honorary conductor.

So great they called in TV news cameras.

    I’ve never seen a review but I think his recording of Also Sprach Zarathustra is staggering.
