About
French music is represented by Franck’s Symphonic Variations with the great French pianist Robert Casadesus, a long term friend of Monteux. This rare broadcast from the Edinburgh Festival with the Boston Symphony in 1956 is the first recording of Monteux conducting this work ever to be published.
The complete Debussy Images and Chausson’s Symphony with the BBCSO from the Royal Festival Hall in 1956 is the only account that exists of Monteux conducting this score ‘live’. His only studio recording of the Chausson dates back to 1950. Likewise, d’Indy’s Symphony on a French Mountain Air with the pianist Valerie Tyron and the BBCSO from 1961 is the only ‘live’ account with Monteux while his only studio account dates back to 1941. The ‘live’ LSO recording from 1961 from the Royal Festival Hall of Part 3 of Berlioz’s dramatic symphony Romeo et Juliette, with André Vessières (bass), has also never been published until now.
A significant bonus has been added featuring Charles Munch conducting the Boston Symphony in Haydn’s Symphony no.102 from the 1956 Edinburgh Festival. Very rare, it is Munch’s only recorded performance of the symphony. This set brings together the BSO’s two distinguished music directors and two of France’s greatest conductors.
