From the back cover: Visitors to Southern California always remember the wonderful spell of "Symphonies Under The Star" in famed Hollywood Bowl, the world's largest natural amphitheater. There, in the quiet of a summer evening, great artists have more than thirty sessions performed their public's favorite compositions.

Now, following in that superb tradition, Felix Slatkin leads the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra in some of the most popular selections in its repertoire. This delightful program brings to listeners at home the unique charm of a starlit evening at the Hollywood Bowl.
