Bartok Concerto for Orchestra (Reiner, Chicago Symphony Orchestra) on 200g LP from Analogue Productions: RCA Living Stereo Series Reissue Mastered from the Original Session Tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound

Since its original release on LP in the mid-1950s, Fritz Reiner's rendition of the Concerto for Orchestra has stood as the standard against which all other recordings of the work are measured. Reiner's superb control of his orchestra and of Bartok's rhythms and textures is still unsurpassed, even by dozens of subsequent conductors in the digital age. The original 2-track session tapes were used in mastering this reissue.

 

Pressed at Quality Record Pressings and plated by Gary Salstrom. 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. This reissue is designed from the mastering, to the cutting, to the pressing and packaging to be the finest rendition of this RCA Living Stereo LP ever reissued.
