Note

Memorial service for Sir Anton Dolin recorded on January 21, 1984 at the Bruno Walter Auditorium, Library and Museum for the Performing Arts [now The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts] at Lincoln Center, New York. Francis Mason, Alexandra Danilova, Tamara Geva, Vera Zorina, Maria Karnilova, Donald Saddler, Fred Fehl, Joseph Wishy, Oleg Briansky, Sono Osato, Constance Carpenter, Robert Larkin, Clive Barnes, and Lilian Gish speak at the service.
The sound quality is good overall. The very last part of Donald Saddler's remarks and parts of Fred Fehl's remarks are very low in volume.
The processing and cataloging of this recording was made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The support of the National Endowment for the Arts is also gratefully acknowledged.
