UkraineI have this magnificent work on a CD. I'm glad that now I can listen in the best quality.
Words nearly fail when I try to describe this phenomenal transfer of a phenomenal-sounding early stereo recording from 1954! HDTT has worked true magic in extracting every drop of rich, glorious tonality and inner detail from this RCA 2-track tape. (I own two copies of the original 2-track tape.) HDTT's effort puts to shame the RCA SACD transfer from the master tape!
FranceReiner was a follower of Strauss. Excellent in all respects. The sound taken by RCA is one of the first made in stereo. An exceptional CD, not to be missed.
