I have a couple of copies of the RCA red seal Brahms PC 2 with Sv Richter. Apparently, from the liner notes, Fritz R got sick and Erich Leinsdorf was brought in. How is that recording (the first stereo concerto ever done by Richter in the US)? I believe my copies are used and imperfect representatives of pretty beautiful records. I have a couple of wonderfully preserved Rubinstein Red Seals of the set you mention. My uncle's, but I haven't spun them in a while.My impression is that Leinsdorf was close but not of the top rank of the famed conductors of that Golden Era. Have you heard his BSO recordings? Many in the catalog. I remember a very beautiful Pavane (Dynagroove copy).
I am at work, typing from memory.
