Brahms Symphony No. 2 - Charles Munch Boston Symphony Orchestra
This glorious early stereo recording was released by RCA in 1956 in two formats, mono LP and stereo two-track 7.5 IPS reel-to-reel tape, which at the time was the only consumer format in which stereo recordings could be heard. With the advent of stereo LPs in 1958, many of RCA’s great stereo recordings made prior to 1958 were issued on the legendary Living Stereo record label, but for an unknown reason, this particular recording was never released on LP in stereo until after RCA’s mid-priced Gold Seal label was established in 1975, some two decades after the recording was made. In the interim, on LP, this recording unaccountably existed only in mono.
