Charles MunchAbout
Charles Munch, who conducted the BSO from 1949 to 1962, disliked thorough rehearsals, preferring to “save” something for the concert. This could lead to considerable nervousness on the part of the players. Doriot Anthony Dwyer, whom Munch appointed first flute of the BSO in 1952 said “his rehearsals could be incredibly intense, even hair-raising, since we knew that what happened at the concert could be entirely different.”
Thus we have welcomed alternative versions here to the studio recordings, in addition to getting Munch’s interpretations of works he never recorded commercially: Debussy’s Jeux, Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet and Strings, Milhaud’s Sixth Symphony and Faure’s Requiem.
