The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by René Leibowitz
- The Power Of The Orchestra: Moussorgsky: A night On Bald Mountain and Pictures At An Exhibition - Chesky RC-30 original legendary high-fidelity classical STEREO lp. Record is STILL SEALED in original shrink-wrap and thus presumably Mint condition; cover is Near Mint.
A sensation since it was released in 1963 as part of RCA Victor's Living Stereo classical series (VCS-2659), this is actually a Decca production produced for RCA by Charles Gerhardt, and engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson, who is the man behind the sound of the top-rated Decca recordings. "Power of the Orchestra" didn't remain in print for very long.
If you are a fan of Moussorgsky-Ravel's "Pictures at an Exhibition" or "Night on Bald Mountain" you shouldn't be without this record. It's virtues have placed it in HP's "Top 12 Best Sounding LPs of All Time," as well as earning a 10+ from J. Mitchell, author of "The RCA Bible".
Chesky Records reissued "The Power of the Orchestra" on 180 gram vinyl. This, along with Munch's earlier reading of "Daphnis et Chloe", the earlier "Gaite Parisienne" with Fiedler, and Oscar Danon's "Petroushka" are considered the best of Chesky's vinyl output. These particular titles, unlike the earlier LPs, were mastered by Tim de Paravicini through custom built tube equipment at his own facility, and pressed on 180gm vinyl. Although "Daphnis" and "Gaite" have been reissued by Classic Records, "Power of the Orchestra" has not. Perhaps one reason may be that the superb Chesky release is too hard to beat. Many feel that the Chesky disk is better than the original RCA. It surpasses it in it's extension of the frequency extremes. The deep bass whacks are startling in their realism and the orchestral crash at the end of the Promenade section of "Pictures" will shock you with it's intensity. Chesky is out of the vinyl business and supplies are starting to dwindle. Nice!
