Rating: - INDISPENSIBLE FOR RAVELIANS & "REINERIANS"
Fritz Reiner was noted for his Wagner, Richard Strauss, Bartok and much other 20th-century music (most of which he was never able to record commerically). But his taste and genius went much further afield. His own favorite composer was Mozart, and both his Pittsburgh and Chicago versions of the 40th symphony are unsurpassed.
