Fritz Reiner – Chicago Symphony Orchestra – Spain – Analogue Productions (RCA Living Stereo) – 45RPM 180G 2 Disc Vinyl LP
“These are the best vinyl releases of RCA LPs I’ve yet heard.” — Jonathan Valin, executive editor, The Absolute Sound
“Grade A. Another triumph with ravishing string tone, so sweet and liquid it could’ve been poured from a jar. Not as spectacular as the previous two titles because the (mostly) Albéniz compositions aren’t as consistently slam-bang dynamic, though when the music heats up so do the sonic thrills.” — Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound.com, June 11, 2013.
