This item not eligible for any further discount offers!

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

Maestro Stokowski is at the podium and Bob Simpson is at the 3-track Ampex recorder to capture the Rhapsodies from Liszt, Enesco and Smetana that give this issue its title. This is titanic sound that will sink most speakers and amps for that matter. A must have. The original 3-track session tapes were used in mastering this LP from the Analogue Production reissue series.

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

"...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, theabsolutesound.com, June 11, 2013

"These records are definitive." -Michael Fremer, analogplanet.com
