From the back cover: Emanuel Verdi is a native New Yorker who received his musical education and has enjoyed highly active professional life in this city. Recognized widely as a viola virtuoso, he has played in solo recital and with leading orchestras in the concert hall, on radio and television. Vardi has to his credit a considerable amount of writing and arranging of music for his own instrument and various combinations of other instruments. In this collection of perennial favorites, heard to best advantage through guaranteed total frequency range recording techniques, the unusual qualities of his arrangements will delight even the most discriminating among Hi-Fi fans. Verdi's setting of these musical classics involve, for the most part, high strings punctuated by cello band bass. The simplicity of the arrangements serves to point up the particular character of these selections, all of which are charateristically lyrical and quiet in mood.
