- According to the New York Times, this recital was part of a low-cost series of 4 concerts "by eminent musicians" with ticket prices as low as 50 cents. The aim of the series, presented by Herbert Barrett Management, was to attract "a vast new potential public, which would respond eagerly to the idea of great Carnegie Hall concerts at neighborhood movie prices." Top ticket prices for the series of 4 concerts was $5, with series subscriptions in the balcony for $2 and $3, and single tickets also available at $1.50. The other concerts in the series included mezzo-soprano Jennie Tourel on October 21, 1958; pianist Moura Lympany on December 1, 1958; and a program of Handel choral music by Clarion Concerts on March 1, 1959.
