This 1957 record album release helped make Freddy Martin a star in the late 50s-early 60s. His swingin' version of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto in B-Flat Minor not only became a popular hit on the radio, it was also somewhat of a musical milestone as one of the earliest examples of a classical tune being translated into pop music. Another great Fred moment in history! (Here's a bit of music history trivia for all you Tchaikovsky fans: From whom did the great Russian composer get his inspiration for the above-mentioned piano concerto? He actually "borrowed" the tune from a group of blind beggars whom he heard
humming it in the streets of Kamenka. This was in the days before copyrights and intellectual property.)

Other selections found on this superb album, recorded in "New Orthoponic
High Fidelity", include "Dancing in the Dark," "Deep Purple," and "I Could Have Danced All Night." The album also included a warning about avoiding permanent record damage entitled, "Beware the Blunted Needle." Just a reminder from your Head Fred: Buy a new needle today!
