Andre Kostelanetz papers donated to the Library of Congress

"Papers of conductor and arranger Andre Kostelanetz are being donated to the Library of Congress by the musician's estate, marking a significant expansion of the collection Kostelanetz provided to the Library during his lifetime. Kostelanetz, who died in 1980, was a major figure in U.S. popular music and on radio for half a century. Early in his career, he was best known for his interpretations of classical pieces, and over his lifetime he was credited with selling more than 50 million recordings that tapped a public appetite for popular arrangements of classical and Broadway music."
