    I think Ralph Gomberg has the most beautiful oboe sound in the world.
    It was fun to see Joseph DePasquale lead the violas on the outside of the stage. The viola tone color is so important in Ravel's orchestration.
    Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe show the Boston Symphony at their finest. Nobody can touch this.
    I wonder where Doriot Anthony Dwyer was. She was my favorite flutist. She was from Streator, Illinois.

    The clarinet section here was Gino Cioffi, my teacher the late Felix Viscuglia (long before he was an actual member of the Orchestra), Pasquale Cardillo (Eb) and Rosario Mazzeo (bass). It's a little amusing that the camera operator kept zooming in on the first clarinet whenever there was about to be an Eb clarinet solo; the Eb player was sitting at the whole other end of the section.

    I know maestro Munch from his Debussy and other Ravel, displayed a strong rhythmical character and bit quick tempo. But here, maestro blended a high degree of precision and a very flexible tone colour. This feat is new to me. I love his Bolero for its maddening impression towards the climax.
    BTW, the bnw pic contrasted so immensely with audio quality which has a wide dynamic range and perfectly natural stereo.

      Mr. Kershaw is correct. The other flute player IS Lois Schaefer, who was the BSO's piccolo player at the time. Doriot Anthony Dwyer was hired by Munch and appointed principal in 1950, the first woman appointed to a principal position in an American orchestra. It so shocked the orchestra's audience at that time that some people supposed there was some hanky panky between Munch and his principal flutist, which was not only untrue but tastelessly insulting to both of them. Munch chose her solely because he was bowled over by her playing and soon enough we all were!

      @@lovettboston I believe you are incorrect on two counts. That is not Doriot Anthony Dwyer. I met her several times and that is not her. Furthermore, she became principal flute in 1952, eight years before this performance (you said "she later became principal flute", which is incorrect). Apparently she didn't make the trip to Japan and Pappoutsakis was in the principal's chair for this concert.

      Cost a pretty penny to fly an entire chorus over to Tokyo in 1960... I miss the chorus too, but Munch is doing a hell of a lot more than beating time. Have you ever watched him rehearse?
