CRITIC REVIEWS:

“In the 1950s…[the Boston S.O.] was a spectacular ensemble of virtuosos, led by Charles Münch, and fully deserving of its place in the Big Five. Looking much like a trimmer, rather more stylish Carl Sandburg, ‘Le beau Charles’ was BSO music director from 1950 to 1963….Furtwängler meets Toscanini, with balance and proportion that can only be Münch. The BSO plays brilliantly….Balances seem quite good, much like what we know from Münch’s commercial recordings.”

- Lawrence Hansen, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, Sept./Oct., 2011

“Access to the publicly broadcast BSO concerts from this era has been extremely difficult, even for researchers. This series of DVDs will make these performances available for the first time since they were broadcast. Münch launched the BSO into television in 1955. He was an immensely popular conductor and well suited to being filmed. This material represents some of the earliest televised concerts with the Boston Symphony and Charles Münch, and has been restored using the greatest care and state-of-the-art techniques. It is of exceptional musical interest and historical value.

Munch is best known for his performances of French music, Debussy and Ravel in particular, and introduced the United States to a great deal of French repertoire, which was the cornerstone of his tenure with the BSO. According to Richard Dyer, he conducted LA MER 80 times, and made five commercial recordings of the work. All three works on this DVD were composed during Münch’s lifetime (Münch was 14 when LA MER was premièred and 21 for the premières of IBÉRIA and MOTHER GOOSE). An exciting, rhythmic conductor, he clearly enjoys his position on the podium, and was renowned for bringing something new and exciting to each performance as well as great spontaneity. A number of the recordings he made with the BSO have sold steadily for more than 50 years and remain a permanent standard of reference.”
