{"title":"Fritz Reiner Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eFritz Reiner (1888-1963) was an Austrian-born American conductor who is widely considered to be one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. He was a professor at the Curtis Institute of Music and the director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1953 to 1962.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReiner's most notable recordings include the complete orchestral works of Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Johannes Brahms, and Richard Strauss, as well as many works by George Gershwin and Igor Stravinsky. His most popular recordings include his interpretations of Franz Liszt's Totentanz and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Reiner is also known for his recordings of the operas of Richard Wagner, particularly Tristan und Isolde and The Ring of the Nibelung.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Reiner is that he was a big advocate for modern composers, often including their works in his performances. He was a champion of the works of Béla Bartók, Paul Hindemith, and Arnold Schoenberg, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bela-bartok-fritz-reiner-the-chicago-symphony-orchestra-concerto-for-orchestra-129385","title":"Béla Bartók, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner – Concerto For Orchestra (Analogue Productions, 180g, QPR)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince its original release on LP in the mid-1950s, Fritz Reiner's rendition of the Concerto for Orchestra has stood as the standard against which all other recordings of the work are measured. Reiner's superb control of his orchestra and of Bartók's rhythms and textures is still unsurpassed, even by dozens of subsequent conductors in the digital age. Likewise, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta shows just what an incredible ensemble the Chicago Symphony was under Reiner's direction. The original 2-track session tapes were used in mastering for LPs and SACDs.

The Intermezzo from the opera, inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya, became a popular independent concert piece.
