  • Description

    One of the most legendary conductors of the twentieth century, Charles Munch (1891-1968) was, with Pierre Monteux, certainly the greatest French conductor, as well as a hero of the French Resistance to Nazism, for which he received the Legion
    of Honor.

    After a long activity in France, during which he performed important premieres of the works of Honegger, Roger-Ducasse, Ropartz, Roussel, and Schmitt, in 1946. Munch then moved to the United States, becoming an American citizen and reaching the apex with the conduction of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with which he recorded a large number of performances, especially symphonis, published by RCA.

    These 2 CDs represent an important document of some live concert versions of his American activity and are completely unpublished. The sound quality is excellent.
