Remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound!RCA Living Stereo — the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound!
This release features very lively French light orchestral favorites. It is considered by some to be the best RCA recording of all! Recorded June 1954 in Boston Symphony Hall, Arthur Fiedler conducts the Boston Pops Orchestra for this performance.
Fiedler's performance of Offenbach's Gaite Parisienne combines delightfully lyrical music with spectacular sonics to create an unforgettable listening experience. The fabled acoustics of Boston's Symphony hall and the magnificent tonal hues of the Boston Pops are on full display on this fanciful and festive recording.
"...I'd have to say that the usual stumbling blocks have been sidestepped. Great care has been taken to do the right things, starting with the way the decision to remaster these RCAs was made." -Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound.com, June 11, 2013
