Description: Personnel: Fritz Reiner (dir), Chicago Symphony Orchestra · Collectors Edition · Issued in Digipack · 2 Original LPs on 1 CD · Original Cover Art and Liner Notes · Living Stereo Recordings · Newly Remastered in 24-Bit Prokofieff and Stravinsky were responding to an impulse deep in the Russian creative mentality when they wrote these works so widely separated by time and location. That is the cultivation of the story-telling impulse, the capacity to make music relate a story, paint a picture or depict a situation. That, to them, was Russian art, and it hasnt changed (fundamentally) since. Heard for its own sake: this is a sonic experience in which Strausss imagination and skill, and those of Fritz Reiner and his players, make Also sprach Zarathustra not only incomparably thrilling on first hearing butno matter how often repeatedinexhaustibly rich in new revelations of sheer sound-sorcery.
