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 vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity and warmth, lifelike presence and midband illumination.
Recorded in June of 1954 in Boston Symphony Hall, this performance of Jacques Offenbach's ballet "Gaite Parisienne" is considered by some to be the best RCA recording of them all! Arthur Fiedler's direction combines delightfully lyrical music with spectacular sonics to create an unforgettable listening experience. The fabled acoustics of Boston's Symphony Hall and the magnificent tonal hues of the Boston Pops are on full display on this fanciful and festive recording!
Packaged in the original tip-on jacket facsimiles that precisely duplicate the original cover art, including the "Living Stereo" logo, LSC numbers and "Shaded Dog" label. These new versions are clearer than the originals and warmer and richer than past reissues! Hybrid Stereo SACD playable on all CD players.
