Living Stereo Rca hi Res

Morton Gould's Brass & Percussion is an artifact from the halcyon days of high fidelity, a lost era when "Radio Row" in New York City was bursting at the seams with shops selling every kind of cutting-edge audio gear to hi-fi enthusiasts eager to blow away their wives, neighbors, and everyone else with big audio systems. Forthwith, Brass & Percussion has a BIG sound – recorded in Manhattan Center with classic Neumann U-47 microphones and a huge symphonic band made up of crack East Coast professionals.

This is not exactly the Mario Lanza "best-of" album its title might imply; it consists of recordings made during the last 18 months of the great crossover tenor's life, when he was beginning to suffer serious effects from the health problems that killed him in the fall of 1959…

RCA Living Stereo Series from Analogue Productions. Another of the rare performances of violinist Jascha Heifetz and conductor Fritz Reiner together with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This stunning recording of Brahms' Violin Concerto is nothing short of breathtaking. The original 30 ips 2-track analog tape was used to master these LP and SACD reissues. Remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, these new versions are clearer than the originals and warmer and richer than past reissues.

Fritz Reiner, the famous Hungarian conductor who as the music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra brought the 1st golden age to the Symphony. Its achievements have dramatically improved the standards of orchestra performance in the 20th century. These outstanding performances were recorded by RCA's state-of-the-art recording technology of “Living Stereo” & still retain the overwhelming freshness.

Over an hour of the most beloved Russian orchestral showpieces, in performances worthy of a great maestro & his orchestra. Arthur Fiedler & the Boston Pops perform orchestral works from composers Alexander Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Aram Khachaturian, & Tchaikovsky. DSD remastering brilliantly reproduces the superb sound quality of the original master tapes.

Audiophile reissues presenting the best efforts of post-World War II sound engineers have also in several cases preserved performances that would simply be hard to improve upon. RCA's Living Stereo series has revivified several top-notch albums, and now comes this 1961 recording of Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat with Ernest Ansermet conducting l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, and the soprano passages from Teresa Berganza.

The recording collaboration with the great violinist Salvatore Accardo continues, which began 29 years ago.

This album is part of the recordings made on the occasion of the concerts of the first edition of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2019. The concerts organized by fonè's Giulio Cesare Ricci were held at the Piaggio Auditorium located inside the famous Museum in Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still continues to produce today.
