Where it came from
The Reiner Sound was originally recorded in 1957 and 1958 by RCA Victor during the height of their Living Stereo era. Conductor Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were captured at Orchestra Hall by recording engineer Lewis Layton, who utilized a specialized three-microphone setup to create an expansive, high-fidelity soundstage that remains a benchmark for orchestral recordings.
The 1995 release by Classic Records represents a landmark in the audiophile reissue movement. Using the original three-track master tapes, Bernie Grundman oversaw the mastering process to cut high-quality 200-gram vinyl pressings. This version is celebrated by enthusiasts for its exceptional clarity and dynamic range, successfully bringing the nuance of the original RCA production to a contemporary listening standard.
