Fritz Reiner – Rimsky-Korsakoff: Scheherazade (LP, Analogue Productions)

We compared this new 200-gram, 33 RPM LP from Analogue Productions with the original RCA Living Stereo issue and Classic Records 33 RPM version, and were surprised at the outcome. Why? Because to these ears, the new Analogue Productions version was the more relaxed and natural sounding of the bunch. The sound is as it should be, inviting the listener into the music and entirely constant with Reiners readings.. If ever there were a must-have LP in the recent wave of audiophile vinyl reincarnations, this is it. Treat yourself and thank (Analogue Productions Chad) Kassem for doing it the justice it deserves.quot; – Harry Pearson, HP Soundings, May 2013.
