 * Great Combinations *

 

Früher war es ganz im Trend, als das Plattengeschäft noch jung war, große Sänger mit Begleitung von gleichem Ruf zu verbinden. RCA Victor hat die Praxis auf dieser LP, anscheinend erfolgreich, wiederbelebt. Die Platte hat die großen Künstler, und das Cover scheint fast zu sagen »kannst Du da mithalten?«. Hier sind die Paarungen: Marian Anderson und Gregor Piatigorsky, Robert Merrill und Yehudi Menuhin, Jan Peerce und Mischa Elman, Ezio Pinza und Nathan Milstein, und Rise Stevens und Elman. Jede Kombination stellt zwei Werke zur Auswahl, alle leicht und stimmig. Alles in allem eine kommerziell und künstlerische solide Idee, fein ausgeführt.

It used to be quite the vogue when the disk business was young to pair great singers with string players of equal renown. RCA Victor has revived the practice on this disk with what seems to be a 'Potent' platter property, The diskery has the artists, and the album jackets almost seems to dare, »Can you match this?«. Here are the pairings: Marian Anderson and Gregor Piatigorsky, Robert Merrill and Yehudi Menuhin, Jan Peerce and Mischa Elman, Ezio Pinza and Nathan Milstein, and Rise Stevens and Elman. Selections, two by each combo, are all light and tuneful. In all, a sound commercial and artistic idea, finely executed.
Billboard

"Great Combinations" Works by Handel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Böhm, Offenbach, Massenet, a.o. - Marian Anderson (voc); Gregor Piatigorsky (vc); Robert Merrill (voc); Yehudi Menuhin (v); Jan Peerce (voc); Mischa Elman (v); Ezio Pinza (voc); Nathan Milstein (v); Risë Stevens (voc)
Elman still plays with charm and elegance ... In this batch of pieces, where the encore wags the concert, so to speak, Elman and Seiger combine war-horses and novelties in captivating manner. I was charmed by the exotic "From San Domingo", by Arthur Benjamin, with its echoes of guitars and popular songs. Charles Miller’s "Cubanaise" ... (its) vivacious rhythms and sonorous middle section are most appealing. Perhaps the item that most listeners will fall for is Elman’s arrangement of the so-called "Canto Amoroso" by Sammartini, an encore which Elman has made peculiarly his own. - Gramophone
