The RCA Living Stereo series is back!

Great to be back to my RCA Living Stereo classical series, this time for an underrated gem, Artur Rubinstein with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's version of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. I have a treasured original shaded dog label pressing of this that I compared to the Analogue Productions reissue. This RCA Living Stereo title was never reissued by Classic Records, so a well done reissue is welcome indeed.

The records under review are:
LSC 2068 - RCA Victor Living Stereo, Shaded Dog Label, Indianapolis Pressing, 7S/9S Stampers
LSC-2068 - Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo, mastered from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, pressed at Quality Record Pressing.
