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.
Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Sergei Prokofiev's arrangement of Sergei Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky featuring mezzo-soprano soloist Rosalind Elias and chorus director Margaret Hillis.
Packaged in the original tip-on jacket facsimiles that precisely duplicate the original cover art, including the "Living Stereo" logo, LSC numbers and "Shaded Dog" label. These new versions are clearer than the originals and warmer and richer than past reissues! Hybrid Stereo SACD playable on all CD players.
