An very early Stereo sampler production, this Decca reissue relives the excitement of the early days of channel separation. In the words of the original liner notes, "this is stereophonic sound – sound sculptured in space. It is here to be captured by the listener in a manner which is only otherwise possible in the concert hall. Let there be no mistake, a new and very exciting era has dawned in the long and wonderful history of the Gramophone."

A Blessing For Equipment Auditioning

posted on 03/20/2007
5 Stars
Reviewer: Andrew Maher
Aspects of this disc are a bit cheesy. It is the one where the narrator says "ping" in one channel, and "pong" in the other. It opens with a steam train running between the speakers, contains the Ceremony of the Keys from The Tower of London, and car racing. There are also several musical excerpts such as Decca/London's famous "Espana" recording that are still used by some equipment reviewers to try out new gear, Solti's 1958 recording of Act III of "Die Walkure" gives us a taste of grand opera, and there is a brief sequence of Ernest Ansermet rehearsing "The Rite of Spring". The popular music of 1958 is probably a bit dated, but the virtue of the disc is that it does provide a series of different musical styles that allow listeners to try out their gear without having to swap records frequently. The recording quality is remarkably good. The pressing had a couple of minor extraneous noises, but was otherwise very silent. Take this with you when audtioning a new turntable.
