Street Scene is another one of the deluxe Liberty Premier Series!

Slatkin was the conductor of the 20th Century Fox studio orchestra, and he recorded several albums for Liberty leading the "Fantastic Strings" at the height of the "Stereo Action" period. Like many studio musicians, he was also virtuoso performer in his own right. He recorded as a classical violinist, and he and his wife, cellist Eleanor Aller--also a studio regular for whom John Williams wrote a prominent part in the score of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"--founded a legendary American classical group, the Hollywood String Quartet.
