This remarkable and now rare limited-edition deluxe 5LP box set from The Franklin Mint (Volume V, US pressing, silver label on red vinyl, mono) entitled “The Ormandy Era · Historic Performances” features a tribute to the Philadelphia Orchestra’s longtime Music Director, gathering together a wealth of great recordings from his early partnership with RCA Victor.

The production values of this set are hard to beat. The 5 lovely LPs – pressed on red vinyl – are each in their own inner sleeve, are all housed in a heavy cloth clamshell box with a full-size, 8-page booklet (on heavy art paper) containing extensive notes by Paul Hume, as well as numerous archival photos. (All texts in English only).

Moreover, the transfers were made by RCA Victor from their own masters and sound superb here. The contents are a treasure trove, both musically and historically – see below.

Note: All performances were set down at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia. The exact contents are as follows:

LP 1-Beethoven-Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Opus 125 ("Choral")

LP 2-Brahams-Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Opus 68

LP 3-Richard Strauss-Ein Heldenleben, Opus 40 (A Hero's Life)

LP 4-Rimsky-Kosakov-Scheherazade, Opus 35

LP 5-RAVEL, ENESCO,TCHAIKOVSKY, LISZT
