Bartok Concerto for Orchestra: Reiner: RCA
Full Details
Bartok Concerto for Orchestra: Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony Orchestra on 180g 45RPM 2LP from Analogue Productions: Part of the RCA Living Stereo Series, Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the Original Master Tape, Pressed at QRP
Since its original release on LP in the mid-1950s, Fritz Reiner's rendition of the Concerto for Orchestra has stood as the standard against which all other recordings of the work are measured. Reiner's superb control of his orchestra and of Bartok's rhythms and textures is still unsurpassed, even by dozens of subsequent conductors in the digital age. Likewise, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta shows just what an incredible ensemble the Chicago Symphony was under Reiner's direction. The original 2-track session tapes were used in mastering for LPs and SACDs. Reiner delivers definitive interpretations that set a standard that remains unsurpassed.
Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape, cut at 45RPM, and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings. No other editions match this for the quietest 180-gram platters available. Each reissue in the RCA Living Stereo 45RPM Series also includes a special two-panel insert.
