The orchestra conductor, Maurice Abravanel, had a long association with Weill. This recording comes from a ten year period where Abravanel was working around Broadway, before beginning his 30 year conductor and musical director position with the Utah Symphony. He built the symphony from a part time community orchestra into a respected professional ensemble. The world-class Salt Lake Symphony Hall erected in 1979 bears Abravanel's name.
