Vincent Price Presents Great Paintings in Musical Impressions by Ned Freeman and Performed by the Orchestra dei Concerti di Roma, Paul Baron Conducting. Dot Records.

In 1951, Price donated some 90 pieces from his own collection to East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, California, thus establishing the first “teaching art collection” owned by a community college in the U.S. Today, the Vincent Price Art Gallery continues to present world-class exhibitions, and remains one of the actor’s most enduring legacies. The collection contains over 2,000 pieces and has been valued in excess of five million dollars. – Wikipedia

    […] “Passion in Paint”  Henri Rene and his Orchestra.  RCA Victor  “Famous Paintings Set to Music”  We’ve seen this concept executed differently already.  Compare with this Vincent Price cover. […]

    Probably the only patron of the arts who didn’t have a snobbish bone in his body! Would have loved to meet him!

    price was the mystery guest on “what’s my line” one time and he answered questions in a flawless french accent, and had the panel stumped for a short time. but when he finally said “vissi d’arte” they figured it out straightaway. a great actor and class personified. also a good chef, i have read.
