45rpm 180g Double LP Pressed at QRP!
Part of the Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo 45 RPM Series!
Remastered from the Original Master Tape & Cut at 45rpm by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab!

RCA Living Stereo classical LPs — the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound!

When RCA first captured Arthur Rubinstein with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1954, the result was more than just another Brahms concerto — it became one of the defining statements of the Living Stereo era. Rubinstein's trademark elegance and poetic touch meet the fire and precision of Reiner's baton, while the Chicago Symphony delivers a performance of monumental power and clarity.

Rubinstein, already a towering figure among pianists, was known for his natural lyricism and refusal to overdramatize — a quality that perfectly suited Brahms' First Concerto. Against Reiner's taut, disciplined conducting and the CSO's burnished sonority, the music unfolds with both storm and serenity, revealing new depths with every listen.

What makes this recording a classic of RCA's Living Stereo catalog is not just its interpretive brilliance but its sound. Even in the dawn of stereo technology, RCA engineers created a spacious, lifelike sonic image that still astonishes today. Listeners can hear the piano's warmth, the orchestra's weight, and the hall's resonance in remarkable detail.

This 180-gram reissue — now a 45 RPM masterpiece! — is the definitive version of this Living Stereo classic. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans from the original analog tape, it's pressed on two LPs — flat, virtually silent viny pressed by Quality Record Pressings.

For today's classical music fans, this isn't just a historical artifact — it's an evergreen performance that continues to set the standard.
