Description

These Living Stereo Super Audio CDs are newly remastered in DSD (Direct Stream Digital) from original source tape by the award-winning Soundmirror engineering team headed by John Newton. The reissue series features legendary performances from RCA Red Seal's greatest artists including Arthur Rubinstein, Van Cliburn, Charles Munch, Fritz Reiner and more! Original cover art is update with a contemporary new look.

Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra bring their ineffable elegance to Berlioz's atmospheric Byronic fantasy Harold in Italy and to four of the composer's quicksilver concert overtures.

"RCA on Super Audio CD - a reason to celebrate." - The Absolute Sound

"Overall, the first 10 released in BMG's RCA Living Stereo Super Audio CD series are overwhelming successes. I eagerly await the next 10!" - Stereophile

"The idea behind this project is to bring us closer to the master tapes than has ever before been possible. These Super Audio CDs are far superior to all previous CD versions in every conceivable way, but especially in their retrieval of hall sound and the overtone structure of the various instruments." - The Absolute Sound
