	WNYC - Mad About Music: James Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank (June 05, 2005)
		Wolfensohn Well, the reason that I choose this is that it brings together Jackie and Daniel in a very early collaboration in which I think he does it with the New Philharmonia in London and the artistic collaboration between these two was something that I've never seen before or since.
		Wolfensohn I was looking for something which meant something to me currently but where the recording was of artists who have their place in history already and I've chosen this, it's a recording of Heifetz, Piatigorsky and Rubinstein which is I think definitive.
		Wolfensohn noted that while people under 25 already account for more than half the population in most developing countries, their concerns, which commonly include education and unemployment, are not being given the urgency required to build a more secure world.
