		Munch rushes through it so quickly that there's still room on CD 1 for another overture, Le Corsaire from Berlioz in a zippy dash from 1948 with the Paris Conservatoire orchestra, a band more suited to Munch's temperament, perhaps, than the BSO.
		Munch walked into one of the best orchestras in the world and realized they could do anything and barely needed him; he also realized this was the ideal circumstance to take a freewheeling and spontaneous tack, take the leash off the show-dog so to say, and see what happened.
		Munch coaxed a rich, mellow sound from the strings and winds that, in my opinion, was unmatched, and it serves this German composer's music very, very well.

		Munch was the son of the Alsatian organist and choral conductor Ernest Münch (1859-1928), and the nephew of Albert Schweitzer.
		As an Alsatian, he was conscripted into the German army at the outbreak of World War I. Gassed and wounded as an artillery sergeant, he nevertheless survived the war through sheer resiliency.
		These three pieces are shrewdly chosen; they are the composer's most extrovert works, and Munch pulls out all of the stops in his performances of them.

		The elastic, vigorous interpretation of the Beethoven Sixth from 1967 (a work Munch likewise took on for RCA in Boston) is the only concession to Munch’s way with German repertory; the rest is Franco-Russian repertory and a touch of Spain via Albeniz as orchestrated by Arbos.
