In Reply to: Rafael Kubelik Complete Decca and Mercury recordings... posted by classfolkphile on April 23, 2021 at 10:22:15:
Tom Fine was in charge of the Kubelik/CSO box and, once again, he's used the Plangent Process in his remastering. Fantastic! But possibly even more exciting is that Bert Whyte's experimental stereo recordings from 1952 (!) will also be included. In fact, you can hear a bit of the Mozart Prague Symphony IN STEREO from 1952 at the end of this little sales blurb video about the box on YouTube:

As I listened to this, with the spectacular playing of the CSO on display, I almost begin to wonder what Reiner actually did (in terms of "improvements") when he "took over" for Kubelik. These Mercury recordings are just outstanding for their time!
