Moussorgsky The Power of the Orchestra: Rene Leibowitz: RCA

Moussorgsky The Power of the Orchestra: A Night on Bare Mountain / Pictures at an Exhibition: Leibowitz, RPO on 180g 45RPM 2LP from Analogue Productions: Part of the RCA Living Stereo Series, Mastered by George Marino from the Original Master Tape, Pressed at QRP

Recorded at Kingsway Hall and engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson, this record couples Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition with Night on Bare Mountain. It has long been considered among the greatest sounding records ever made. Perhaps most stunning about Power of the Orchestra are the effortless dynamics, which have been reviewed and raved about ever since the first RCA shaded dog.

From the teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy gentle plucks of strings to the WHAM!! CRASH!! SLAM!! of a full orchestra without a bit of notice. It's heart-stopping, jump-out-of-your-seat-type dynamics. The Power of the Orchestra - a more appropriate title there never was. But to hear it at 45RPM... This thing's got all the weight of an anchor but at the same time the clarity and airiness and sparkle of a feather. Nuance, a holographic soundstage, emotion to spare - this one's got it all.

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound 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.
