Charles Munch, Boston Symphony Orchestra - Ravel: Bolero - Analogue Productions LP

180 Gram Vinyl LP, 33⅓ RPM — RCA Living Stereo Reissue

Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra — perhaps the greatest French-repertoire partnership of the stereo era — in a program of Ravel's most intoxicating orchestral showpieces. The hypnotic crescendo of Boléro shares the disc with the whirling La Valse, the sultry Rapsodie espagnole, and Debussy's sensuous Prélude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Recorded in the legendary acoustics of Symphony Hall, Boston, it remains a touchstone for orchestral color and sound.
