Artist: Fritz Reiner - Chicago SO , Album: Richard Strauss (1864 - 1949) - Symphonia domestica and Le bourgeois gentilhomme Suite Released: 2006 Label: RCA Living Stereo Catalog N°: 88697-08282-2 Genre: Classical File Format: eac_flac_cue_log covers 407MB 01-05 Symphonia domestica, Op. 53 43:45 06-12 Le bourgeois gentilhomme: Suite, Op. 60 30:09 ... I don't find this work my favorite of Strauss' large orchestral tone poems, but I must admit upon hearing it again that he must have had a very heroic and exciting day in his family life - which is what he intended to portray in the symphony. There are themes representing the Papa, Mama and baby. The contrasts between chamber-like passages and the impact of the full orchestra are frequent and more effective than ever with the three-channel reproduction. A switch to two-channel is necessitated with the little suite from Strauss' incidental music to Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. The combination of its chamber orchestr...

Artist: A. Rubinstein, F. Reiner - Chicago SO, E. Jorda - San Francisco SO, A. Wallenstein - Symphony of the Air Album: Rachmaninoff, Falla, Chopin Released: 1997 Label: RCA Living Stereo Catalog N°: 09026-68886 Genre: Classical File Format: eac_flac_cue_log covers 312MB Excellent conclusion to a famous era. The Rachmaninoff, being recorded in January, of 1956 along with the 2nd Piano concerto of the same composer, was the lasting tribute to two great musical performing together. They had their first meeting in April, of 1954 when the duo recorded the Brahms 1st, which was an astounding success, and critics along with RCA hoped that the two would do more recordings of famous concertos together. But, Rubinstein who loved to travel and make his place in the world, became almost non-existent after the Brahms session (which is available through Classics as LSC-1831, or the ARL1-2044 vinyl release of the stereo release), when RCA had big plans to record Rubinstein again with Reine...

Artist: Byron Janis, Fritz Reiner - Chicago SO, Charles Munch - Boston SO Album: Sergei Rachmaninoff: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 3 Released: 1997 Label: RCA Living Stereo Catalog N°: 09026 68762 Genre: Classical File Format: eac_flac_cue_log covers 337MB 01.

Alla breve 12:47 A transparent, incredibly thoughtful rendition of Rachmaninoff's masterpiece. Every note shines in Byron Janis' spectacular playing of this most difficult of concertos, backed by one of true geniuses of music: Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony at its apex. Flawless, bril...

Artist: Fritz Reiner - Chicago SO , Album: Richard Strauss (1864 - 1949) - Don Quixote, Don Juan Released: 2006 Label: RCA Living Stereo Catalog N°: 88697-046042 Genre: Classical File Format: eac_flac_cue_log covers 309MB 01-14 Don Quixote 43:04 15 Don Juan 16:30 A musical treat which despite its age still sounds remarkably good . Among the avalanche of new material the prospect of a reissue, even of an acknowledged “classic performance”, does not always whet the appetite of the overwhelmed collector. However when the re-mastering is allied with a first appearance in a new format then perhaps curiosity may yet be kindled. Reiner’s recordings of Richard Strauss orchestral music during the 1950s are still, for many, benchmarks in this repertoire. ...

Salome Op. 54 - Final Scene 17:03 With ominously rumbling double-basses in the beginning of Elektra’s Soliloquy and then a reproduction of the Chicago Symphony’s brass section that make the wineglasses in the cupboard in the adjacent room chink from exaltation, I had to reach for the jewel case to check the recording date. Look at the ...

Artist: Van Cliburn - Fritz Reiner - Chicago SO - Kiril Kondrashin - RCA SO Album: Piano Concertos - Tchaikovsky No 1 & Rachmaninoff No 2 Released: 2004 Label: RCA Living Stereo Catalog N°: 82876-6613922 Genre: Classical, Orchestral File Format: eac_iso_flac_cue_log covers 397MB 01-03 Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No 1 34:41 04-06 Rachmaninoff : Piano Concerto No 2 34:08 Like most of the Living Stereo SACDs, this one pairs up the contents of two former LPs onto a single disc. The Tchaikovsky was the first recording to go platinum in classical music - recorded during the first Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958 at the height of the Cold War. The l962 taping of the chestnut Rachmaninoff concerto with Reiner pulls out all the super-Romantic qualities built into the score, but being Reiner it doesn’t seem corny in the least. The stereo stage is extremely wide compared to the two-channel option, with solid placement of the piano in the center and good depth to the ...

Artist: Fritz Reiner - Chicago SO , Richard Lewis, tenor/Maureen Forrester, contralto Album: Gustav Mahler (1860 – 1911) - The Song Of The Earth Released: 200 7 Label: RCA Living Stereo Catalog N°: 88697-08231 Genre: Classical, Orchestral File Format: eac_iso_flac_cue_log covers 367MB 01-06 Das Lied von der Erde/The Song Of The Earth 63:12 Recorded 9 November 1959 on 3-track tape at Orchestra Hall, Chicago and issued originally as RCA LSC 2438, this vivid inscription is only the third Mahler rendition we have from the baton of Fritz Reiner (1888-1963), noted for his peerless control of orchestra and chorus, and for his implacable perfectionism. Reiner has only his Mahler Fourth Symphony (RCA 67901-2) and a Pittsburgh Symphony rendering of Songs of a Wayfarer (with Carol Brice) to supplement his catalogue in this passionate repertory, while Bruckner holds no place in the Reiner canon... The half-hour Farewell ( Der Abschied ) alternates flute, oboe, harp and contralto voice in ...
