I am not a huge fan of Reiner in general, but his Lt. Kije is one of my fave.
I am also looking forward to the reissue of a few Heifez pieces.
I do not understand why AP decided to remix and futz with the balance. I am curious to know what their reasoning behind it.

Remember the masters are either 2 track or three track. The 2 track masters can not be rebalanced except maybe through judicious EQing. The three track masters can have more or less center channel levels in the remix to two track. In hearing these records it sounds like the center channel has been boosted a little and some high end eq has been implemented. Also maybe a boost at bottem end. I think analog productions has mainly depended on some excellent playback machines plus superior pressings. I have heard 5 so far and I really like The Reiner Sound, The Pines and Fountains of Rome and Lt. Kiji. They are worth hearing. Scheherazade and Pictures are very good but not as good as the other three in my opinion. I have 2 others coming and look forward to them

but this AP pressing is entirely different. Yes i hear the bass boost and I can't deny the production value is high as the Classic Reissue.
Must be a subjective call by different mastering engineer.
Do you know the name of engineers who worked on these reissues?
Because Sony who owns RCA would not let the master tapes leave NY city they were remastered by Ryan Smith at Stirling Sound. They used the late George Marinos VMS 80 lathe and an ATR 102 tape machine modified by Mark Spitz. The master lacquers were then sent to Chad Kassems QRP pressing facility in Salina, Kansas.
