Remington Records

[2] Producer Don Gabor, recording director Laszlo Halasz and engineer Robert Blake made the very first commercial stereophonic tape recordings in the United States in 1953 with Thor Johnson and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

Mono and stereo recordings were also made in Berlin with the RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) Symphony Orchestra.

Some of Remington's mono and stereo tapes were released in the late 1970s on the Varèse-Sarabande label.

Producer Tom Null and his technicians applied a different equalization for the new matrices and this resulted in far better pressings and improved sound.

Best known are the Continental recordings he made with George Enesco of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas.
