Where it came from
The Reiner Sound was originally recorded in 1957 and 1958 at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, capturing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Fritz Reiner. This collection was engineered by Lewis Layton and produced by Richard Mohr, a legendary team for RCA Victor. They utilized the burgeoning Living Stereo technology to document Reiner’s precise, razor-sharp conducting style, resulting in a recording widely regarded by audiophiles as a benchmark for orchestral clarity and dynamic range.
The 2002 release is a high-fidelity reissue, produced to satisfy the enduring demand for the original master's sonic transparency. The recording features works by Ravel and Rachmaninoff, chosen to highlight the technical brilliance of both the conductor and the orchestra. Its legacy rests on its status as an quintessential example of the 'Golden Age' of stereo recording, prized for its natural soundstage and the vivid textures of the Chicago Symphony's performance.
