From Billboard - June 20, 1960: Two of the gayest and most broadly "popular" compositions from the orchestral repertoire are bracketed on a release which provides great musical fun. Kiril Kondrashin conducts these light-hearted compositions of his countrymen with zest and high spirits. The disk can be sold for it has an appeal to every musical taste, even to those who don't normally care for classical music. As such, it can be recommended by dealers to gift-buyers.
