Fritz Reiner - The Complete RCA Album Collection: Box Set 63CDs (2013) Part 1

Fritz Reiner was one of the foremost conductors of his time. Crowning his long career in Europe and America was the decade from 1954 to 1963 as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra – an illustrious partnership that ranks along such other historical tenures as Karajan’s in Berlin, Szell’s in Cleveland and Bernstein’s in New York. Luckily for posterity, Reiner’s legendary interpretations at the helm of the Chicago Symphony – which no less than Igor Stravinsky called “the most precise and flexible orchestra in the world” – were captured on record by RCA Victor. Now for the first time ever, they are being issued together in a single Sony Classical box set of 63 re-mastered CDs.
Born in Budapest in 1888, Reiner studied at the city’s fabled Academy of Music, where Béla Bartók was his piano teacher. As principal conductor of the Dresden Royal Opera, he worked with Richard Strauss and in 1919 conducted the German premiere of Die Frau ohne Schatten. In 1922 he became music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and in 1938 moved to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, transforming both into major ensembles. In 1953, after a five-year stint at the Metropolitan Opera, he became music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which he built into one of the world’s most famous and respected musical organizations.
