Ravel’s Bolero builds from a quiet rhythmic pulse into a huge, hypnotic crescendo, and Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is all atmosphere and color, one of the great “test pieces” for tone, space, and orchestral texture. Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony deliver both with that classic mid century RCA energy and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1866\" data-start=\"1391\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1420\" data-start=\"1391\"\u003eSound and listening notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1423\" data-start=\"1420\"\u003eFully play tested end to end and sounds very good. No issues were detected. Expect wide, open orchestral imaging with excellent midrange presence and natural hall ambience. Bolero’s long build stays steady and controlled, with the snare pattern clean and the final swell hitting hard without turning into mush. The Debussy has that floating, silky top end with gentle depth and layering when played back on a proper 2 track half track machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2211\" data-start=\"1868\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1899\" data-start=\"1868\"\u003ePlayback compatibility note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1902\" data-start=\"1899\"\u003eThis is a 2 track half track stereo reel at 7.5 IPS. Many consumer decks are 4 track quarter track and will not play this correctly. The box is marked for in line heads, common wording on some early stereo releases.
