The three-CD set includes 1930s performances of the "Symphony of Psalms," the Violin Concerto (with Samuel Dushkin), the Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (with Stravinsky at the keyboard) and the "Dumbarton Oaks" concerto, as well as various violin/piano duos with Stravinsky and Dushkin from their tour repertoire.
