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!
