I know this has been posted on before. Van Cliburn performing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 at the Carnegie Hall, recorded in Living Stereo. I've owned the LP for years and love this historic recording. I just bought the SACD and as soon as I heard the opening chords on the piano a huge smile crossed my face then tears of joy followed.This is a remarkable audio document.
The inevitable question of how RCA engineers produced a recording almost half a century ago which would shame the majority of modern digital recordings has to be asked.This is a front row seat experience unveiled fully by the SACD transfer. It is simply priceless.
