RCA Living Stereo Classical LPs – the Gold Standard for Top Quality Orchestral Performance and Sound! 

Remastered from the Original Master Tape by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound and Now Cut as 180g 45RPM 2LP-Set!

RCA's "golden age" was more like a "golden minute" - in a scant period, roughly from 1958 to 1963, the beginning of the stereo era - pure vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity and warmth, lifelike presence and midband illumination.

The jewel in the Living Stereo crown, this recording of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite Scheherazade, like the Respighi, is considered one of the very best LPs by Fritz Reiner, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and RCA's crew. A collection of supple and sensuous performances, the sound alternately shimmers and stuns with the clarity of its definition and intensity of its climaxes. The listener is taken on a magic carpet of Living Stereo sound to mythic Arabia and China, guided by two of Russia's greatest orchestral masters.

Remastered from the original master tape – now cut at 45 RPM by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. Lacquers plated by Gary Salstrom and pressed on 180-gram double vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. Deluxe gatefold jacket from Stoughton Printing.
