- music
Ã¼ These 13CDs, containing Munchâ€™s entire Warner Classics catalogue, comprise recordings made between i) 1935 and 1949 (CD7-13) and ii) 1965 and 1968 ((the year of the conductorâ€™s death, CD1-6). Ã¼ The repertoire on the 13 CDs is wide-ranging â€“ from the Baroque era to the mid-20th century (Bach and Vivaldi to Dutilleux and Jolivet) and from core repertoire to rarities. Ã¼ The 78 rpm era recordings find here their first original complete edition and they include numerous official premieres on CD. Ã¼ Rousselâ€™s Suite in F recoreded for Erato is released here for the first time on CD Ã¼ The Berlioz Symphonie fantastique with the Orchestre de Paris was recorded a few days before the first concert of the orchestra: the first notes ever played by the Orchestre de Paris. Jean-Charles HoffelÃ©, in his note for the boxset, sums up Munchâ€™s style thus: â€œâ€¦ his frenetic rhythms, his enormously varied palette of intense colours â€¦ his unerring feeling for a crescendo, all the subtle accents and phrasing that make his performances speak directly to the audience, and above all an irrepressible sense of movement â€¦â€
