Wanda Landowska, the eminent harpsi¬ chordist; Jack Pfeiffer, music di¬ rector of RCA Victor's Red Seal re¬ cordings, guest.
The program, filmed expressly for NBC-TV, is one of a continuing series of visits with distinguished figures of our time. In it, Mme. Landowska speaks of her life, her career, her philosophy. She plays, too, several selections including the third move¬ ment from Bach's concerto in D major; a 17th-century dance, and the second movement of the Vivaldi concerto, transcribed by Bach for harpsichord.
The program was filmed at Mme. Land¬ owska's home in Lakeville, Conn.

Mme, Landowska was born in 1879 in War¬ saw, Poland. Her life has been some¬ times called a contemporary "legend." She rediscovered the true harpsichord which the piano had supplanted in the l8th Century, and her dedicated leader¬ ship brought about its modern-day revival . Of her art the noted critic Virgil Thomson once said: "One might almost say, were not such a comparison foolish, that she plays the harpsi¬ chord better than anybody else ever plays anything."
