Post Subject: Munch/BSO dates (?), and 1962 Franck D MinorPosted by Paul S on: 9/9/2007
I have been rooting around looking for recordings and of course I scanned the "good BSO recordings" list. Charles Munch actually quit the BSO in early 1962, and I think I remember he died around the time I was married, 1968. I love his Franck D Minor, one of which I have, that I understood was one of the last things he did with the BSO. I sometimes feel disembodied when I listen to this work. The RCA stereo LP (Victrola) of this is better than most of its ilk, although mine needs a good cleaning. Anyway, I agree it is "good", for sure, BSO or not, and I am not loathe to "recommend" recordings.
Best regards,
