Description
RICHARD STRAUSS (arr. Reiner) -
Waltzes from "Der Rosenkavalier"
CARL MARIA VON WEBER -
Invitation to the Dance
(the very prominent cello solos in the Weber are undoubtedly performed by Janos Starker, who was CSO principal cellist at the time)
Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony Orchestra
RCA ACS-99
2-Track Stereo for "In-Line" heads
7 1/2 ips; 7-inch reel; notes on the back of the box
Please note: for proper balances on playback, all 2-track tapes must be played on a 2-track machine. Playback on a 4-track machine will not give even weight to the channels and may not be satisfactory.
Recorded in Orchestra Hall, Chicago
April 15 & 16, 1957
Richard Mohr, producer
Lewis Layton, engineer
These recordings were originally issued on LP in mono only in 1957; the stereo LP arrived in 1958. This tape was announced as a new release in October of 1958, and its last appearance was in RCA's 1961 catalog, after which all 2-tracks were discontinued, so this was a short-lived issue!
For comments on the LP issue, see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #75/76, Pages 176-177
These two selections were part of the collection entitled "Vienna" on LP issue LSC-2112. The LP, of course, included other items as well. The other selections appeared on 2-track tape on ACS-63 and ACS-87.
The tape is in excellent condition but is missing the first couple of seconds of music; the two selections have been separated by a former owner with leaders tape. The box shows minor shelf wear and staining, and an orange crayon has been used to note the timing of the Weber work (see photos).
