Charles MunchAbout
Perhaps the fact that he performed so much French music, in Boston and elsewhere, led to the perception that French music dominated his programs when, in fact, it held merely an equal position with the non-French repertoire.
But the fact that Munch was born in Strasbourg when that city was part of Germany, and that he held the concertmaster position with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and played under such great German maestros as Wilhelm Furtwängler and Bruno Walter prior to embarking on his own conducting career, does indicate an intimate familiarity with the German repertoire and its traditions. Of course, he was nevertheless French by nationality and temperament, and thus able to bring a certain leavening process to his interpretations of the German classics, resulting in performances that were less ponderous than those of some of his German contemporaries.
