One of the things I really like about this Franklin Mint collection is that, not only does it include great sounding recordings/performances, but historical ones as well. This is one of the historical ones.

Each of the library cases in this 100LP collection has a title or theme to it. Volume 15 & 16 is entitled “Strauss Tone Poems” – a compilation of 3 classic works by Richard Strauss. Two of the performances are by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The other is by Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra.
Purely in terms of sound quality, this set could possibly have the best sound yet. Absolutely spectacular.

Since I’ve been posting rips from this 100LP collection, Verdi’s Requiem has gotten more requests than anything else in the set. So, as the saying goes, this one is by popular demand. 🙂

Sorry for the poor cover – this is from a time, many years ago, when I made rips for my personal use and had no mind on HD – Now I don’t have the vinyls anymore.

Note: the record with Concerto No. 12 had a big, hugly and very deep scratch, ca. 4 cm, exactly in the middle of the grooves, touching the whole 2nd mov. of this concerto. Impossible to restore (pick-up jumped at every turn like a frog), record is destroyed. Mov. 1 and 3 were restored, but I had to take mov. 2 (44.1 kHz/16 bit) from the CD-Edition, that Mr. Whatever offers. The cover was restored by me in a long Photoshop session.

edit feb/21/2013 – with the help of a friend, who provided the missing 2nd mov of the 12th concerto, we have now all files from vinyl in 24/96 – please DL the missing file and replace the old one.

I had heard/read that this was a dull sounding recording. After listening to it for myself, I found it to be just the opposite. So far, I’ve been very impressed with the quality on these Franklin Mint albums. Grab this one (or one of the others I’ve uploaded) and see if you agree.

A truly historical performance from the FM100 collection. Like the review says below, the sound quality is surprisingly good for a 1938 recording.
