What is "classic"? If a recording, after more than half a century, is still considered top version of a very popular orchestral piece, and is still being used as a benchmark for recording quality, it is a classic. It's not perfect. For example, the trumpet solo in the last climax is a bit out of sync with Reiner, but on the other hand, the excitement and the rare "you are there" feeling is actually enhanced by it! In all, an indispensible record.

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
