Mercury Records MG 20270
1958

From the back cover: This recording was made at Universal Recording Corporation, Chicago, with Bill Putnam at the controls. Recorded in Studio A, probably the largest studio in the world, extensive use was made of a series of 18 1/2 by 4-foot swinging all baffles to achieve the lush clarity of the strings and solo violin. A special miniature mobile band shell, equipped with multiple polycylindrical diffusers, covered the nine first violins. Microphones utilized to reproduce the various sections and instruments included: double standard bass (Altec 639); piano (RCA 77DX); strings (Telefunken M221); Clebanoff's solo violin (Telefunken U47); and drums (Telefunken 201). The entire session was taped at 15 its (inches per second) on an Ampex 350 Tape Recorder. The tape was mastered at Universal's studio on a Scully lathe equipped with a Cook feed back cutter head.
