Instead of a tortuous practice session, a student audience sees and hears a preview of the next day's subscription concert. Charles Munch seldom finds it necessary to ask the orchestra to replay unsatisfactory passages. After nearly a week of practice, he has only a few subtle problems of interpretation to work...
