Background on this eBay item -
This is the legendary 1954 performance of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique that was never issued as a Living Stereo. By the time that RCA started issuing stereo LPs in 1960, Munch re-recorded the piece, though many argue that the 1954 performance is favored. This is one of the early Jack Pfeiffer two-track recordings which capture that sense of “being there” that is often elusive. When Classic first issued this title in 1994, they decided to use the second or “RE” mono cover art because they reasoned that it was that cover that RCA would have used if they’d released the 1954 performance as LSC 1900. But after Classic’s first issue of LSC 1900, Jack Pfeiffer said that he was never happy with the “RE” cover and would have preferred the original mono cover converted to Living Stereo with the addition of the banner across the top of the jacket. So, here it is. The sound and the performance are intoxicating!-
