Description
This is a very nice copy of Classic Records 180g pressing of Brahms’s “Piano Concerto No. 1” with Arthur Rubinstein and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner on 4 single-sided 180 g. 45 RPM records. The 45 RPM set is a complete recording LSC-1831. When I first bought this new, the records were cleaned with a VPI record cleaner and treated with LAST record preservative. More recently it was recleaned with Audio Intelligent Fluids on a VPI cleaner and on an Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner. It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag. The recording is very spacious and dynamic. Sides 1 and 2 play very quietly. I did not notice any surface noise. Sides 3 and 4 play mostly very quietly with only a few light ticks over each side. There are no scratches or scuffs. I have only played the records a few times on various VPI tables I have owned (HW-19 MKIV, TNT 3.5, and Classic 4) using either Lyra or Benz Mico Ruby cartridges. The sound is naturally open and detailed. The jacket for the first disk is the regular glossy 180g jacket that Classic uses for its 180g pressings. The remaining three are plain white jackets with a sticker. There are no seam splits. Only side A of each LP is pressed. Side B is blank. Multiple records can be combined in an order to save shipping costs.
