Bartók Concerto For Orchestra - Fritz Reiner Chicago Symphony Orchestra
A second vote for this one. Admittedly, this is my first copy of this work, so I have nothing else to compare it to. And this is only my second classical purchase from HDTT, but wow! 1. A wonderful work by Bartok. A must have classical music recording. 2. A most pleasurable release by HDTT. You can really hear the quiet parts and when it gets busy, it can be exhilarating. I am very pleased with my purchase from HDTT and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you HDTT!


Outstanding! Just get this...
I am in total agreement with Karl K.'s comments below. If you have loved this performance over the years, as I have, then don't hesitate - get this Redux reissue from HDTT. Transferred from an excellent tape copy of the production master tape, this Redux reissue has all the clarity and transparency I've been hoping to find since my transition to digital files only listening. We finally have a release in digital that rivals my memory of the excellent vinyl I once had. In a number of ways, it is likely superior in all those ways that are special about 15ips analog tape. I compared this to my copies of the earlier HDTT release (which is very good) and to the SACD. This new Redux release simply has more life, higher resolution, sharper and more well defined transients, coupled with an overall transparency that those other two reissues lack. The SACD (as a DSD64 file) is disappointingly soft and lacking in immediacy and transient snap when compared to both the earlier HDTT release and to this even better Redux release. This Redux release is simply outstanding! My only regret is that we no longer having the excellent Richard Strauss "Suite from Le bourgeois gentilehomme" that accompanied the first release from HDTT. Hopefully HDTT will be able to release that separately once again for those who don't have the original release.

Gorgeous
Listening to this Redux transfer of this performance I was constantly struck by how utterly natural the orchestra sounds, how the low end perfectly balances the overall texture and dynamics, and how beautiful the winds sound. Partly this must be due to transient clarity. Compared to this the Living Stereo releases sound muddy. Above all this recording reveals the astonishing conducting of Reiner.
