Review: This justly famous record shines on magnificently through the Classic Records' reissue. Much has been said and written about this performance. It's all true! The Chicago Symphony's ensemble is immaculate and the many solos are played with great distinction. This orchestra was full of stars, hired intelligently in the '50s by Rodzinski, Kubelik and Reiner. Peck, Still, Herseth, Farkas, Druzinsky, Jacobs and Brody, to name a few, play with an integrity and individual style that has seldom been matched. As such, the solos are phrased splendidly and enjoy flawless intonation.
When you hear this rich, sensuous recording from way back when, you'll wonder whether the art of recording has made progress, spun in circles, or gone backwards since 1957. There's nothing "old" sounding about it
Living Stereo: In the decade following 1953, RCA Victor made a substantial body of recordings which have come to be identified with their early stereo release label, Living Stereo. As the adoption of Stereo audio became more widespread, Living Stereo offered a wide range of music and performances in high quality sound. A majority of these records, particularly classical music, offer music, performances and audio quality which are considered definitive. Living Stereo influenced many of the recordings that followed with their recording and marketing philosophies.
