What very interesting and accurate comments Lacy has made. Recently on this
board several people have pointed out the high quality of the Chicago/Reiner
recordings of the 50's and 60's, an appraisal with which I strongly agree.
It is certainly interesting that those recordings are still respected in
light of the criticism of the Vienna telecast. The Chicago recordings,
especially of the 50's were made with one microphone (Telefunken) and did
indeed give the total sound of the orchestra and allowed individual
instruments to emerge from that total sound, completely the opposite of the
approach to the Vienna broadcast. It's good to know that people are still
listening with intelligence. Doug P.
