RCA Living Stereo classical LPs — the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound

...I'd have to say that the usual stumbling blocks have been sidestepped.

Great care has been taken to do the right things, starting with the way the decision to remaster these RCAs was made." Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound.

RCA's "golden age" was more like a "golden minute" - in a scant period, roughly from 1958 to 1963, the beginning of the stereo era - pure Valve helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity and warmth, lifelike presence and midband illumination.

Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Sergei Prokofiev's arrangement of Sergei Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky featuring mezzo-soprano soloist Rosalind Elias and chorus director Margaret Hillis.

Packaged in the original tip-on jacket facsimiles that precisely duplicate the original cover art, including the "Living Stereo" logos, LSC numbers and "Shaded Dog" label. These new versions are clearer than the originals and warmer and richer than past reissues!
