Pictures At An Exhibition was recorded on January 26, 1953 in Carnegie Hall, New York. A single condenser microphone, noted for its uniform frequency response and wide angle of sensitivity, was suspended approximately 17 feet above the conductor's podium to secure the exact orchestral balance. The music was recorded on RCA Victor High Fidelity RT-2 recorders at a tape speed of 30 inches per second to assure maximum fidelity and minimum tonal distortion.
