Yet another giant of the Living Stereo series. The Isle Of The Dead is a truly awesome orchestral spectacular with dynamic peaks that will stun most listeners. Also included is the equally stirring version of Rhapsodie Espagnole.

"My initial impressions are pretty clear: the new Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo SACDs are definitely an improvement over the older BMG/RCA SACDs. In fact, there's no doubt about it in my listening sessions. ... there is a better sense of space, more detail & deeper, richer lower frequencies. ... The dynamics on the APO SACD are better, of a certainty, to my ears. ... This is a remarkable accomplishment." 
~David W. Robinson, Editor-in-Chief, Positive Feedback Online. 

"…The 2nd movement is just ravishing in the beauty of the Chicago's playing & Reiner's romantic approach; there is some staccato triple-tonguing done by trumpeter Adolph Herseth in the 4th movement that should leave you, if not him, breathless. But let it just be said that, after you hear this, no other Scheherazade will ever replace it in your affections." 
~HP's The Golden Dozen LPs – Harry Pearson, The Absolute Sound, June/July 2007
