Summary:A mesmerising figure in concert, Charles Munch was celebrated for his electrifying public performances. He was a pioneer in many arenas of classical music - establishing Berlioz in the canon, perfecting the orchestral work of Debussy and Ravel, and leading the world to Roussel, Honegger, and Dutilleux. A pivotal figure, his accomplishments put him on a par with Arturo Toscanini and Leonard Bernstein. This book provides a biography of this giant of twentieth-century music.
