Of all the music America loves best, Victor Herbert´s wonderful songs have been among the top fifty for the past fifty years. This album contains favorites known and loved by people from all walks of life all ove the world. These are melodies that have become a part of our lives, a part of wonderful moments for listeners from seventeen to seventy...melodies filled with moments that are simple and warm and fit into any mood or occasion. This is the sparking romance of Victor Herbert´s favorites played by 101 strings.

The lush magnificence and hi-Fidelity 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 hi-Fidelity 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 aucio 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.
