Customer Reviews:
Living Stereo.......2003-05-13
Excellent historical recordings from the AGE of Living Stereo-the way recordings should have been done-the quality behind these reecordings, and the teamwork that was involved with these as well.. John Phieffer well deserved the credit due in his efforts in turning around RCA-VICTOR to an audiophile quality production.
A GREAT introduction to a legendary recording technology!.......1999-03-24
The time was right in the early 1950's when RCA tasked the mild-mannered newcomer, Jack Pfeiffer, to not only bridge the gap between corporate management and its roster of sometimes outrageously ill-tempered classical superstars, but also to develop a commercially-viable recording technology that would send a resounding shock wave throughout the industry. Working on information gained from previous stereo experiments of the 30's and 40's, Pfeiffer knew that he had to make stereo technology not only a practical medium returning optimum results in the studio, but also to get that technology transmitted from the studio to the long-playing record player in the home. This album provides wonderfully-recorded samples from the early 1950's and a booklet relating the search for attaining that goal. Interesting annecdotes abound about Reiner, Stokowski, Horowitz, and others, with many providing a chuckle. This album is a good investment to accompany whatever number of purchases you make of the RCA Living Stereo CD series.
