180-gram virgin vinyl LP
Mastered from the original masters of Sony Music Entertainment
Pressed at Optimal Media GmbH in Germany
This album pairs up different artists for an album of 10 songs ranging from classical to the down-home folk tunes such as "My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night."
"It used to be quite the vogue when the disk business was young to pair great singers with string players of equal renown. RCA Victor has revived the practice on this disk with what seems to be a 'Potent' platter property. The diskery has the artists, and the album jackets almost seems to dare, 'Can you match this?' Here are the pairings: Marian Anderson and Gregor Piatigorsky, Robert Merrill and Yehudi Menuhin, Jan Peerce and Mischa Elman, Ezio Pinza and Nathan Milstein, and Rise Stevens and Elman. Selections, two by each combo, are all light and tuneful. In all, a sound commercial and artistic idea, finely executed." — Billboard
