Fritz Reiner and the RCA made an unbeatable team, and Reiner’s 1957 recording of Pictures at an Exhibition with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of her greatest accomplishments. With a big stage, amazing clarity and spectacular presence, this recording is one of those titles that can amaze and delight even experienced music listeners.
This hybrid multi-channel SACD is not to be confused with the earlier SACD release by Bertelsmann Music Group. The new RCA series recordings have been remastered by Ryan Smith; the stereo mix was created from the original 3-channel recordings.
