Fritz Reiner & Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Respighi: Pines of Rome & Fountains of Rome / An

Along with Rimsky-Korsakoff's "Scheherazade," this recording is one of the RCA label's classical music gems. Recorded on October 24, 1959 at Chicago Symphony Hall with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,

Reiner's Respighi interpretations are gems in stereo with absolutely gorgeous sound, an outstanding ensemble of musicians and wide-ranging dynamics. No matter which recording you own of "Pines of Rome &

Fountains of Rome," this is the ultimate one that belongs in your collection. The final march alone, with its thunderous bass, crashing cymbals and roaring brass, is something you've never heard before.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
