IGOR STRAVINSKY -

Song of the Nightingale

Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony Orchestra

RCA CCS-97

2-Track Stereo for "In-Line" heads

7 1/2 ips; 7-inch reel; notes on the back of the box

Please note: for proper balances on playback, all 2-track tapes must be played on a 2-track machine.   Playback on a 4-track machine will not give even weight to the channels and may not be satisfactory.

Recorded in Orchestra Hall, Chicago

November 3, 1956

Richard Mohr, producer

Lewis Layton, engineer

One of the last of the RCA 2-track issues, this was first listed in the RCA "New Releases" flyer dated October 1958.  It was last listed in RCA's February 1961 catalog, after which it disappeared (along with all the rest of the 2-tracks), so it was available only for a very short time - and in my experience is very scarce!

For comments regarding the LP issue, see The Abso!ute Sound:

Issue #32, Page 148

Issue #49, Pages 148-49

Issue #65, Pages 153

Issue #75/76, Page 70

Also, see the attached photos of the ecstatic review from HiFi & Music Review from September of 1958.  

The tape is in excellent condition; the box shows only very minor shelf box wear.
