O maestro Stokowski está no pódio, e Bob Sinclair está no gravador Ampex de 3-Pistas para capturar as Rhapsodies de Liszt, Enesco e Smetana. O som titânico e glorioso desta gravação é capaz de afundar a maior parte dos amplificadores e colunas. Uma performance imperdível. As fitas da sessão original foram usadas nesta reedição fabulosa da Analogue Productions.

RCA's "golden age" was more like a "golden minute" - in a scant period, roughly from 1958 to 1963, the beginning of the stereo era - pure vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity and warmth, lifelike presence and midband illumination.
Pressed at Quality Record Pressings and plated by Gary Salstrom. Packaged in the original tip-on jacket facsimiles that precisely duplicate the original cover art, including the "Living Stereo" logo, LSC numbers and "Shaded Dog" label. These reissues are designed from the mastering, to the cutting, to the pressing and packaging to be the finest RCA Living Stereo LPs ever reissued. These new versions are clearer than the originals and warmer and richer than past reissues!
"Stokowski, tears into Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody with unrestrained gusto, rips into Enescu's First Romanian Rhapsody with unreserved panache, jumps into Smetana's Moldau with both feet, and grabs hold of the Venusberg music following Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture with undisguised passion. The Symphony of the Air, RCA's studio orchestra of the late '50s and early '60s, plays with more power than polish and more color than control, but, since that was probably what Stokowski was looking for, it only enhances the performance. RCA's Living Stereo sound was stunning in its day and staggering in our day. While certainly not for late-night listening, this disc will surely get you up in the morning." - James Leonard, All Music
"For what it is, it is as good as it gets. What it is is Leopold Stokowski's 1960 stereo recording called Rhapsodies containing four Eastern European orchestral blockbusters with the RCA Symphony Orchestra. What it was was the hottest, loudest, brashest, and sexiest LP from the age of stereo and RCA's sound is so real it might as well be in the room with you. Which would put Stokowski's lush, plush, and smooth orchestra with his extravagantly voluptuous tempo rubato sitting next to you. Stokowski's orchestra is sitting very, very close." - James Leonard, All Music
