I was there when I was a high school student! From the beginning my heart was filled with colorful and twinkling sounds. At 4:48 you can see the screen shakes. It was an earthquake! The hall suddenly trembled violently and the chairs of contrabassists creaked, but all the players continued to play as if nothing had happened. Fernand Dufrene's flute was soft and marvelous. Buffeted by the wave of sounds I wished this would never end. After I went home my mother asked me how it was, but I could not say anything. I was totally inarticulate. According to D. Kern Holoman's book "Charles Munch", this tape was televised in France on Nov 14, 1968, two days after his funeral.
pure magic. that man was a genius. a complete control of the sound and music, master of masters with an uncomparable scent of french spirit. no words left for such a man. he must have had a bit of a devil inside :-)
7:30 - 9:10 ..the magic is there; Fernand Dufrene on his Lois Lot. What projection, what tone! Not from power, but from integrity, build from the bottom up . Not just volume, avoiding the foundation of tone.
What can one say? MAGIC! He was dead within two years of this, but not before his last and best Symphonie Fantastique with his new Orchestre de Paris recording by EMI. He also recorded this, as well as Bolero,Rapsodie Espagnole and Pavane. In his last recordings at Salle Wagram. Just Magic!
I was there when Orchetre de Paris was etablitch . I studied flute with Michel Deboost, who was the first soloflautist in this new orchestre. A great conductor with a fantastic orchestre.
Interprétation merveilleuse de Charles Munch avec O. N. O. R. T. F. dont il était le Chef principal à cette époque jusqu'en 1968. Daphnis et Chloé faisait partie de ses oeuvres de prédilection.
In 1967 the Orchestre de Paris was establiched with Charles Munch. I was there taking lessons with Michel Debost the first soloflautist in this new orchestre .
et aujourd'hui 6 dislike ! QU'ILS S'EXPLIQUENT ! munch jusqu'à dutilleux aura servi comme personne ces musiques de berlioz à nos jours... que peut on reprocher... je suis alsacien, et pour moi munch est avec son frère son grand père son père et tout son entourage les meilleurs serviteurs que la musique ait pu connaître !
I like Franck's D minor by Munch and the BSO. It's an old (1960s) but it is better than the other version I have, even though their hi-fi is better. Munch's conducting made the difference.
Incredible - it's obvious he knows and loves this score backwards. But If I were a benign cultural dictator I would insist it is always performed complete and always with with chorus.
Cher MuzBuz, précision: Charles Munch est, avec Serge Baudo le fondateur de l'Orchestre de Paris en 1967. Cela ne l'empêche pas d'être le Chef principal de l'Orchestre de l'ORTF de 1962 à 1968, d'assurer la transition entre Maurice Le Roux et Jean Martinon 1967-1968. Vous n'ignorez pas, par exemple que certains chefs assurent même les directions musicales de deux orchestres en même temps. Le Maître Andris Nelsons assure à la fois la D. M. du Gewanhaus Leipzig et du Boston S. O.. Cordialement vôtre, Snaky.
My God see his good face how different from tje hysterical negations like some modern conductors or even Toscanini...it is impossible to play well and sweet in Orchestra when tje conductor looks at you like a bad dog...it is so soft and free and Deep true!
I've never heard the first 3 or so minutes in such a compelling organic flow. Simply magnificent.
Le chef fantastique!

Merci monsieur Charles Münch de si bien servir la musique de Maurice Ravel 😍

Agreed. It's funny how tiny his flute looks in his hands:-)
What a great conductor!!!!
Outstanding!! 👏🏼👏🏼

He directed Orchestre de Paris in 1967 and 1968, not ONF.

3 "dislikes"??? Charles Münch was one of he great giants of the past (!!)
Le Maître ! Et surtout la musique !!!!
so very true charles munch was truly among the greats

WONDERFUL the beginning!
Where has conducting an orchestra or band gone! Much was a genius conductor.
I like Franck's D minor by Munch and the BSO. It's an old (1960s) but it is better than the other version I have, even though their hi-fi is better. Munch's conducting made the difference.
Everything's Depend Personality of Conductor!!
today's orchestras can't play the finale this fast
Stunning orchestration and Composing!❤ Heart rending and so full of emotion! Astounding!!!❤❤❤😊 The next best is probably Karajan.
Fabuleux !
INCRÍVEL!!!!!!
This version is CRAZY
Incredible - it's obvious he knows and loves this score backwards. But If I were a benign cultural dictator I would insist it is always performed complete and always with with chorus.
The complete one appeals to me much more than the two orchestral suites.
from 14;45 to 14:49 you could see directing every note every temp. lower the speed to .75 and you will see.

Thank you. I originally think that '67-'68 is a blank period with no solid principal conductor.
It must be Ferdnand Dufrene who plays the flutesolo.
13.00 the first clarinet is Guy Dangain
There is audio only in the right channel! ☹️🎹
