Product Description
Contents: The 1962 "Symphonie Fantastique" is remastered for the first time in 21 years and released as an SA-CD hybrid for the first time. The "Symphonie Fantastique" was a work that the renowned French conductor Charles Munch excelled at and conducted all over the world as his calling card. He left behind four different session recordings from the SP era alone, and there are also several live broadcast recordings and videos. This time, of the two stereo recordings with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the 1962 recording made in April 1962, just before his resignation as music director of the orchestra, has been remixed and remastered from the original 3-track master for the first time in 21 years and released as an SA-CD hybrid for the first time. The Boston Symphony Orchestra's tight ensemble responds quickly to even the slightest movement of the conductor's baton, the colorful woodwind tones, the brilliant brass roars, and the free, almost improvisational tempo are just some of the many aspects of the orchestra's individuality and Munch's signature style of expression. The "Harold in Italy" with the maestro Primrose, and the collection of overtures that bring out the work's individuality to the fullest, have been newly remixed and remastered, and you can experience the essence of the greatest Berlioz conductor of the 20th century who built an era with superb living stereo sound handled by master Lewis Layton.
