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

Praise for the 33 1/3 edition series reissues:

"These are the best vinyl releases of RCA LPs I've yet heard." — Jonathan Valin, executive editor, The Absolute Sound

"Truthfully, I do not know if this pressing could sound any better. I haven't put it up against an original shaded dog with low stamper numbers, so you could argue that those original pressings still sound the best. But folks, you can buy this one on heavy, audiophile vinyl brand new at a cost considerably lower than a used and potentially compromised original press. To me, it is a no brainer. I heard things in this pressing that I didn't hear before." — Dr. Ryan Oldham, UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance, and curator of classical music at Vinyl Renaissance in Kansas City

One of the most sought-after Living Stereos and deservedly so, especially for the Song of the Nightingale which is one of Mohr and Layton's finest efforts. The sound is truly wonderful on the Stravinsky too. The original 3-track session tapes were used in mastering for LPs and SACDs.

Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape, cut at 45 RPM and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings — no other editions match these for the quietest 180-gram platters available. Each reissue in the RCA Living Stereo 45 RPM Series also includes a special 2-panel insert.
