A NIGHT IN THE TROPICS is a musical experience in which the listener can fell the warmth of latin climates in rich melodic settings with sensuous rhythm.

The arrangements in this album were scored by Joseph Kuhn and orchestra is conducted by Wilhelm Stephan.
The recording was made in October 1957 at Musikhalle in Hamburg, Germany under the direction of D. L. Miller.

The lush magnificence and stereo depth of "101 Strings" is due to a combination of factors. First in importance, is the concept of scoring for the strings. The necessity of using 101 strings instruments is to utilize various harmonies and voicings and not weaken the dynamic of quality of any one line when playing counter lines. This is particularly importance with the violins and violas, and creates a wonderful rich channel separation for stereo recording. The listener will note that a times the melody line is in full presence and possibly a full and lovely conter line is being played without sacrificing the full dynamic value of either. Secondly, the original performances have been records under the most exacting audio engineering standards with specially designed microphones with characteristics to compensate for any possible distortion from the tremendous bass frequency response in cello and string bass. Third, and of extreme importance, are the players themselves. They represent the finest musicians in Europe today. There are, in fact, eleven concertmeisters in the first chairs.
