LP 33 RESPIGHI FRITZ REINER (PINES OF ROME FOUNTAINS OF ROME)

Description: The day Dawn sunless and chili in chicago. A nor'easter whipped in off Lake Michigan with a threat of an unseasonal snow to make one of those Bleak Autumn Saturdays when you set an alarm early just so you can switch it off and go back to sleep, downtown however Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were scheduled to record the two most popular of all Torino Respighi's three Roman tone poems: Pines and fountains. In tandem they had been performed earlier that week at subscription concerts, with stunning impact, and thus we're finally polished for transfer to Triple Channel tape. Minutes before 9:30 a.m., Fritz Reiner made his way to a music stool on the podium wearing professional spectacles and a functional black alpaca jacket. "Are you ready, Dr Reiner?" asked Dick Mohr over the intercom. The Maestro glanced about, put a shushing finger to his lips and answered affirmatively. By 9:00 p.m., Respighi's entire scores were on tape. Two Stellar performances were ready for processing, editing, and final transfer to the master stampers that press the disc. Play it for the music alone, for a masterly performance, for thrilling recorded sound, or for sure volume to bedevil a cranky landlord - take your choice - but the finished product is rousing Respighi in any decades list. The record is in near mint condition and the cover is very good Plus
