Commentary in German, subtitles in Japanese (I think), so not very approachable for many viewers. And the entire first piece is by an unknown conductor - possibly Furtwangler, who is featured/credited in the Brahms that follows. Then a mystery conductor (sorry, didn't catch/recognize the name), then Furtwangler again in the second Beethoven Ninth excerpt, then Edwin Fischer, then Bruno Walter. All rather missable, sadly, other than for those with a serious interest in that period.

How did Stokowski become part of an Austrian/German golden age?
What a horrible conducting technique that fFürtwangler had.
Not really. Listen to those who played in the Philharmonia in the 1950s, especially the premier of the Four Last Songs.
Just remember how hard it is to hold a live trout by the tail.
