Great Combinations / Analogphonic

Ten musicians, five pairs. For Great Combinations, RCA Victor paired celebrated singers with equally famous accompanists, reviving a tradition in the 1950s. The list of participants: Marian Anderson (alto),

Gregor Piatigorsky (cello), Robert Merrill (baritone), Yehudi Menuhin (violin), Jan Peerce (tenor), Mischa Elman (violin), Ezio Pinza (bass), Nathan Milstein (violin), Rise Stevens (mezzo-soprano).

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
