Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Grieg Available Now
UPDATE 2026
This is a very old review of LSC 2429, which we ourselves may no longer agree with.
If you see this record in the bins for cheap, give it a try, but don’t pay a lot on our say-so.
Our two favorite recordings of the Grieg Piano Concerto are the Decca with Lupu and Previn from 1973 and Rubinstein’s for RCA in 1962. Either one should be superior to the Living Stereo Shaded Dog we review here.
The strings are RICH in the best Living Stereo tradition, but unlike so many classical pressings we play, the tubey magical string tone comes with virtually no tube smear. The textures and overtones are fully intact.
