Where it came from
The Reiner Sound, originally recorded by RCA Victor in 1956 and 1958, was reissued by Chesky Records in 1987 as RC11. Chesky, an audiophile label founded by David and Norman Chesky, sought to bring high-fidelity analog recordings back to the consumer market during the early years of the CD and high-quality vinyl revival. This particular release featured compositions by Ravel and Rachmaninoff, showcasing the virtuosic collaboration between conductor Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
The recording is celebrated for its exceptional engineering, captured by Lewis Layton at Chicago's Orchestra Hall. The Chesky reissue was mastered by Bob Ludwig, who worked to maintain the dynamic range and clarity of the original 'Living Stereo' tapes. It became a benchmark for audiophile pressings, highly regarded for its transparent soundstage and technical precision, cementing Reiner’s reputation for achieving clinical yet expressive performances with the CSO.
