RCA LSC-2241 is one of the best stereo recordings of this piece ever done. Fritz Reiner is conducting the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra at its prime, and when Chicago's Orchestra Hall was one of the greatest acoustic halls of all time. They are playing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and Mendelssohn's and "Fingal's Cave Overture", Liszt "Mephisto Waltz", and Brahms "Tragic Overture". In the first movement, this may be in the top 2 or 3 RCA stereo of all time The strings are lush and dense. The bass is spectacular in every respect. Truely a great rendition of the 1812. One of the reasons this record is so hard to find, is there was only one stamper done on this recording because the Gould version was being taped. I much prefer the Reiner to all others. The vinyl is MINT on both sides of this 1/S 1/S A/1 A/1. The cover is Mint-, with only a small bend on lower right corner, being its only flaw.

To all classical record collectors and audiophiles; I am now in the process of selling my entire collection. I have been a record collector of classical and jazz records for the last 40 years. I have recently decided to start liquidating my collection, which has grown too big. I have already listed many of my second, third and fourth copies of the great RCA’s and Mercury’s. I have now launched in to selling the best and last copies, from my personal collection. In the next few months I will be selling superb copies of the all of the Mercury’s and RCA’s mainly from the stereo era. Please add this to your favorites list. These are the best condition, best stamper and matrix #’s. In other words the Best of the Best. I also will sell eventually all my London Blue backs and Lyrita’s etc.
