Where it came from
The Reiner Sound is a landmark high-fidelity recording originally captured by RCA Victor in 1956 and 1958 at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. Produced by Richard Mohr and engineered by Lewis Layton, the sessions are celebrated as a pinnacle of the Living Stereo era. These recordings, featuring works by Ravel, Rachmaninoff, and Liszt, were designed to capture the expansive dynamic range and sonic clarity of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner’s precise, exacting baton.
This 2013 reissue by Analogue Productions was produced as a premium 200-gram vinyl release, mastered from the original three-track master tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. The project aimed to provide audiophiles with a definitive analog representation of the sessions, emphasizing the depth and atmospheric realism that defined the original Living Stereo engineering. The release was met with widespread critical acclaim for its technical fidelity and remains a cornerstone for classical music collectors seeking the definitive auditory experience of Reiner’s Chicago tenure.
