Felix Slatkin Fantastic Strings [1964]


Liberty Records LST-7376 

Among the most consummate of studio musicians, Felix Slatkin achieved fame for violin performance, directing recordings of both standard symphonic fare and appealing arrangements of light music, and for being the leader of a string quartet fondly remembered as one of the finest of its time. Through his affiliation with Capitol Records, he and his wife, Eleanor Aller (cellist with Slatkin's Hollywood String Quartet), were afforded the economic base to pursue performance in areas notoriously unprofitable. Slatkin's death from a heart attack in 1963 caused genuine upset in the Hollywood/Los Angeles studio music world. He had become, by that time, all but irreplaceable.
