If I remember correctly, this is taken from the 1966 film by the National Film Board of Canada, about Igor Stravinsky travelling to North America, and conducting the CBC Symphony Orchestra in a recording of his Symphony of Psalms in Toronto. The voice-over is familiar from CBC radio and television, but I cannot remember the name of the announcer. The announcer's "sound" is quite typical of CBC in the 1960s.
See the NFB's www site (http://www.nfb.ca/), click on "Welcome" or "Bienvenue" and then search for "Stravinsky" under the section "Find a film" or "Trouver un film".

Sounds like Orson Welles. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html --
