Description

Charles Munch: A Life in Music Charles Munch was a conductor whose electrifying performances captivated audiences. He made significant contributions to classical music, establishing Berlioz and Debussy's works in the canon, perfecting Ravel's orchestral pieces, and introducing Roussel, Honegger, and Dutilleux to the world. Munch's life was marked by dramatic survival during World War II and his triumphant arrival at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He turned to conducting in middle age, bringing a unique perspective as a former violinist and concertmaster. At the podium, he formed strong bonds with his musicians, unlocking a special magic that defined his performances. This biography, written by D. Kern Holoman, offers a nuanced exploration of Munch's life, revealing both his artistic triumphs and personal struggles.
