Liszt - Todtentanz + Rachmaninoff - Concerto No. 1 (1961) {Classic/RCA LSC-2541 180g} 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip + Redbook Version

As far as I know, this was the first box set that Classic Records issued (1994). While most recent high-quality reissues go back and remaster from tape and then cut new stampers on a lathe, my memory of the details of this box set is that they used the actual first pressing stampers so that the only difference between these releases and the originals is the heavier vinyl.

Folks have different ideas about how the tags should be used for classical music, so I settled on a system that works for me. If my system doesn't suit you, you are free to change them as you see fit.

Despite the legendary reputation of these recordings, I have had trouble finding reviews or even technical information about them.
