Bring a little fairy dust, woodland mischief, and vintage audiophile charm into your home with this enchanting reel-to-reel: Mendelssohn’s Incidental Music from A Midsummer Night’s Dream performed by Edith Mathews, the Choir and Symphony Orchestra of Bavarian Radio, and conducted by the legendary Rafael Kubelik. Likely captured in the late 1950s to early 1960s, this recording hails from the glory days of European broadcast orchestras—when analog tape was king, stereo was a miracle, and Shakespeare’s sprites could almost be heard chuckling from the control booth. Mendelssohn’s score, born from the whimsical early Romantic era of the mid-1800s, is packed with sparkling overtures, dancing scherzos, and that Wedding March every bride since the dawn of time has walked down the aisle to. On reel-to-reel, the magic multiplies: you get shimmering strings, feather-light choral moments, and just enough fairy mischief to make your tape deck blush. Perfect for collectors, dreamers, and anyone who thinks their listening room could use a visit from Puck.
