Description

Offered for sale is a copy of Prokofiev – Lieutenant Kije – Stravinsky – Song Of The Nightingale by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony, released by Classic Records as limited edition on 180 gram vinyl.

About this copy: The copy offered for sale was pressed on 180 gram vinyl for optimum sound quality.  The record is in a replica of the original jacket, and the label duplicates the original RCA “shaded dog” label used on the original pressing.

The cover and record are in M- condition, and have only been played once or twice.  Classic Records is now out of business and this title is long out of print.

This is a terrific copy of a great recording of a classical album that everyone should own.

Background: There are numerous recordings by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony that are highly regarded by fans of classical music as well as audiophiles.  One of the most appreciated titles is the 1958 recording of Prokofiev’s Lt. Kije, and Stravinsky’s Song of the Nightengale.  Originally issued by RCA, the album was in print for decades, with each pressing sounding worse than the one that preceded it, due to tape deterioration.  The album has been listed on the recommended list by the music publication The Absolute Sound for years, and for good reason – it’s an amazing recording.

Classic Records reissued a series of RCA classical titles by making new two track masters from the original three track tapes, and the results were spectacular.  The label pressed the album at both 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds, and at both 180 gram and 200 gram vinyl weights.  The 200 gram pressings were issued on high-quality Quiex SV-P vinyl.
