JVCXR-0222-Daphnis Et Chloe Charles Munch/Boston Symphony Orchestra
These remarkable recordings, recorded by the team of Max Wilcox and Lewis Layton in 1961 at Boston's Symphony Hall, are truly of demonstration quality. Tchaikovsky's love theme of Romeo and Juliet is universally recognized as one of the greatest melodies ever written. The tone poem Till Eulenspiegel contains some of Richard Strauss' most brilliant orchestrations and has never before been released on CD. Charles Munch conducts the BSO to perfection. This is not to be missed on XRCD2!
