AmericanRadioHistory.Com DIALOGUE THE VIEWPOINTS OF THE INDUSTRY The Solomons on the History of Vanguard

By HOWARD LEVITT died along the wayside is, I think, the fact that we were able to move with the times. I mean, though we were a classical record company from the beginning, we stillweren't exclusively classical from the beginning. Many people don't realize that, but let's say, a couple of years down the road, we were already going into folk music of various countries- Argentina, France, Spain. MS: International folk music-We got into U. S. folk music, in a very

deep way, starting in 1956. I think, in many ways, we were responsible for the folk renaissance. We did help to bring it to a larger audience and to break it into the commercial world. People have more or less forgotten, now that we're not major figures, but we were fairly influen- tial in the early days. As the folk music field burgeoned in the late '50s, I think possibly because of our classical training, we were able to record the select artists and to record them using classical techniques which permitted a breakthrough into the mass market. Maynard Solomon Seymour Solomon SS: Before getting into the American folk music, you should also know that in '52 and '53, asI mentioned, we were doing international Seymour and Maynard Solomon, co -owners and chiefexecutive of- folk music.

That was that Europe was ravaged by way the thing started with jazz was that John Hammond wrote a piece records in Vienna where we worked very inexpensive to make classical in the New York Times around 1953 or early '54, and said it's appalling at that time. the first that most of the jazz records that are being recorded or have been Maynard Solomon: It was strictly a classical company for recorded are so dreadful in sound..So we called him up and said well, few years. equal we'll take you up on that challenge.
