Dino Olivieri

RCA 10 inch.

From the back cover: The influence of American musical styles abroad is increasing yearly. Contemporary popular and light classical works from this country are the inspiration of listeners and creative musicians the world over. Among the latter, a most skilled arranger in the American idiom is Italy's famed conductor, Dino Olivieri.

An international figure, Olivieri was once offered an associate conductorship at the Metropolitan Opera. He chose to remain in Milan however, where he became artistic director of "La Voce del Padrone" – His Master's Voice, records. Also vitally interested in composition, he conducted, at nineteen, an original one-act opera which was given with Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and soon afterward was engaged as assistant maestro of lyrical and chamber music by the Italian Radio.

And So To Bed
Michael Antoine And His Orchestra

An obscure lounge piano artist, backed mostly by strings, renders quiet and tasteful arrangements. There are no notes on the back cover that help us with who Antoine was as an artist.

You'll find a total budget and not so engaging assemblage of tracks inside this pretty awesome Atomic Age jacket. In fact, so little attention was paid to the material that a number of the song titles found on the label are incorrect.
