VTG Brahms Concerto #2 Van Cliburn Fritz Reiner Reel-to-Reel Media

Vintage reel-to-reel media of Brahms Concerto #2 in B-flat OP: 83 with Van Cliburn (pianist) and Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (1962). Released one year prior to Fritz Reiners death. RCA "Red Seal" classical music label (FTC-2096). The original lead-in "tab" was still present and loose in the case indicating it MAY had never been played prior to our test plays. Sold as-is regardless of opinion of condition. THINGS TO KNOW: 1) REASONABLE lifespan of magnetic tape is 20 to 50 years, this tape is well-beyond its useful life and should be treated with particular care, 2) ALL decades-old magnetic tape is subject to "sluff", or the shedding of the magnetic oxide from the tape’s backing. 3) Tested on a well-maintained Akai XD1800SD deck-including rewind and fast-forward-without breakage or meaningful "sluff", 4) We will not accept returns for damage caused by your gear: improper function of braking, tensioning, threading and auto-stop.
