On offer here a Still Factory Sealed, Original, 1984 exemplar of one of Eugene Ormandy's greatest RCA Stereo recording triumphs with his beloved Philadelphia Orchestra: Sibelius' innovative, by turns somber and shimmering Symphony No. 1 and reissue tracks of two Impeccable readings of the composer's early, haunting tone poems: Valse Triste and the eerie Swan of Tuonela. These are sumptuous, late-Romantic Era, Scandinavian symphonic masterpieces perfectly attuned to the legendary strengths of the Philadelphia Orchestra: highly polished, sumptuous string tone, superlative woodwinds, and a masterly, felted brass section perfectly in keeping with Sibelius' own Nordic orchestral aesthetic. (Become Amazed Sonically but Watch for Swans!) RCA Red Seal Stereo Disk, Serial Number ARL1-4901 first released on Vinyl in 1984. (New take on the Symphony, Reissued original RCA Stereo tracks for Valse and Tuonela.) Presumed First Edition and Presumed First Pressings of this disk from the original masters. Jacket is Mint still firmly in Shrink-Wrap. Not a Cut-Out. A superlative copy.
