Two complete Living Stereo LPs on a single disc!
Long an advocate of his countryman's fiery music, Reiner delivers definitive interpretations that set a standard that remains unsurpassed. On this scintillating disc Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra evoke the fiery iconoclasm of Bela Bartok and pay homage to the hauntingly beautiful music of his Hungarian homeland. Five decades after its completion, this Living Stereo gem continues to inspire and amaze.

When remastering the original recordings, John Newton and his engineering team used only three of the available six channels (or two when the original recording was two-track) on the SACD disc because that was the vision of the original producers.

Bartok: Concerto For Orchestra was recorded in and remastered using two channels and Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta and Hungarian Sketches was recorded in and remastered using three channels.

1.   Concerto for Orchestra: Introduzione
2.   Concerto for Orchestra: Giuoco delle coppie
3.   Concerto for Orchestra: Elegia
4.   Concerto for Orchestra: Intermezzo interrotto
5.   Concerto for Orchestra: Finale
6.   Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta: Andante Tranquila
7.   Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta: Allegro
8.   Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta: Adagio
9.   Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta: Allegro molto
10.   Hungarian Sketches: An Evening in the Village
11.   Hungarian Sketches: Bear Dance
12.   Hungarian Sketches: Melody
13.   Hungarian Sketches: Slightly Tipsy
14.   Hungarian Sketches: Swineherd's Dance

while this recording may be old it sounds absolutely marvelous, which seems to indicate that good recording tech has been around for a while. Great music, playing and sound. I love Bartok's quiet moments.
