This collection consisting of mono and stereo recordings capture the PSO with its music director William Steinberg in compelling traversals of Stravinsky&#8217;s &#8220;Rite&#8221; and a Russian concert program, derived from a green label\/gold print Capitol mono and a side-logo rainbow circle stereo LP, both in very good condition.<\/p>\n<p>Both the mono and stereo recordings on this Klassic Haus CD\u00a0are prime examples of Capitol&#8217;s excellent classical recordings with the Pittsburgh Symphony. EMI issued CDs in the 90&#8217;s\u00a0of\u00a0some of the recordings made by Capitol between 1952 and 1959, but, as is the case with EMI from time immemorial, they were soon deleted from the catalogue. PLease check out my site and listen to the sample MP3; I think you may enjoy what you hear!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for checking in! &#8211; Curt Timmons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These CD is a transfer of a mono LP (Stravinsky&#8217;s &#8220;Rite of Spring&#8221;) and a selection of Russian concert favorites in stereo, both Capitol LPs I found during last year&#8217;s trip to Denver, CO (still working through that stack!)
