Mercury Living Presence Giveaway

Many of us were first introduced to classical music on our parent’s Hi-fi listening to recordings from the Mercury Living Presence series. Maybe you did too. These legendary recordings featured classical stars like Antal Dorati, Janos Starker, the Romero Family, Rafael Kubelik and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. We’ll play one recording from this historic series each weekday in May at 1 pm on “The Long Play.”

SiriusXM Pops is excited to give you the chance to win a complete set of the Mercury Living Presence Boxed Set. We want to hear from you on what your first classical music recording was and what makes it so memorable today. Tell us in 100 words or less and you could win one of four boxed sets!
