Description:

This is the first release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000". This album contains Franck's symphonies, which have long been highly acclaimed among Charles Munsch's masterpieces with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Franck's music, which has both French and German characteristics, is a perfect fit for Munch, a Frenchman of German descent, and he gives a passionate performance filled with empathy. The energetic Chausson symphony is also a colorful masterpiece.
