This wesbite is devoted to conductor Charles Munch Edit

The first recording with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony in an electrifying performance of Beethoven's 7th! Recorded December 19, 1949, The Golden Age Tradition of the BSO sound is beautfully preserved in this recording with horns in open perspective, much like Munch/BSO live.

The Munch/BSO Beethoven Seventh Symphony on RCA - what a performance that is and it is one of the very first RCA recordings made with analog tape; the first RCA recording of the Boston Symphony Orchestra with 'Le Beau Charles' as he was called by the French-speaking ladies in the Symphony Hall audience.
