From the back cover: Helmut Zacharias, a noted conductor and violin soloist of considerable virtuosity, began performing professionally with his father when he was barely six years old. He studied at the famous Musikhochschule in Germany, where he received several awards, and while still in his teens he toured Europe with a chamber music ensemble. Despite his strictly classical background, however, he took quite zealously to jazz in his early twenties, and became known as "Europe's hottest fiddlier". In his music today are found the extraordinary skill born of his early training, and the stylistic appeal of the popular entertainer.
From Billboard - February 16, 1959: Zacharias and his string ensemble are featured in this mood set on several international favorites. It's a find mood package that can have wide appeal. Light rhythm backing on the selections helps create a listenable setting. Tunes include "Around The World," "Mandolin Serenade" and "Tammy." Good potential.
