I am beginning to think I am not the only Munch fan out there... I may have mentioned it, but when the BSO put out their set of broadcast performances, because of Ozawa...who reportedly said..."how can we have Munch without him doing French music?" For me, that was a great pity as most of the repertoire Munch conducts in that set is duplicated in commercial recordings he made. True, the live performances are, for me, preferable, it ignored his wonderful work in things like the music of Prokfiev...7th Symphony, a Nielsen 5th, Liszt Faust Symphony...and while I am not a fan of Mozart...he brought such vitality to his readings of Mozart. One of my fantasies...a boxed set of Munch doing Piston. He programmed Piston's music even before he came to Boston. I have him doing the 3rd (3 different performances), 5th, Viola Concerto, 3 New England Sketches...other surviving broadcasts include the Piston 2nd, 4th and several performances of the 6th (studio recording is good but the live performances are wonderful), the Toccata, etc. Other Munch fans out there? By the way, for those of you with interest in the BSO...check out www.koussevitzky.com It is a listing of BSO broadcasts with an emphasis on Koussevitzky...it was done with great love and great scholarship...Most tantalizing...is a recent addition of BSO broadcasts before and after the dates of the Boston Symphony Transcription Trust. While the items from the late 20s and early 30 are not known to survive...I wonder what it would have been like to have heard Prokofiev playing his 3rd and 5th Concertos under Koussevitzky...
