The 101 Strings orchestra, released by Somerset Records, recorded a collection of hits from the musical Pal Joey (Rodgers and Hart). It includes Bewitched, My Funny Valentine, The Lady Is a Tramp, I Could Write a Book, I Didn’t Know What Time It Was and There’s a Small Hotel. The Broadway production opened 15 years ago and became famous for its provocative story. It now enjoys new success thanks to a Technicolor film starring Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak.

Three factors create the distinctive lush sound. First, the arrangements are scored for 101 string instruments: the large ensemble allows varied harmonies and voicing without losing dynamics in any line during counterpoint, especially in the violins and violas. Second, the recording follows strict engineering standards, with specially designed microphones that compensate for distortion from the powerful bass of the cellos and double basses. Third, the players are among Europe’s finest musicians, including 11 concertmasters in the first chairs.

The orchestra numbers 128 to 141 players: 30 first and 26 second violins, 20 violas, 18 cellos, 7 double basses, plus woodwinds, brass and percussion. The album belongs to the first part of a 24-release series that Somerset Records will issue in 1958. The series will cover Broadway scores, mood music, musical “travel impressions”, popular songs from films and classics.
