- Note
- The same recording, namely the interview with Adolf Bolm conducted by Irving Deakin, is contained in its entirety both on tracks 1-3 and tracks 4-6. However, there are differences in the sound quality: the speakers' voices are much clearer and easier to understand on tracks 4-6 than on tracks 1-3, but tracks 4-6 are marred by a continuous hissing noise as a result of distortion in the tape.
- Interview with Adolf Bolm: what is Russian ballet?; the 11th program in the radio series Music and ballet, with Irving Deakin as host, broadcast on April 15, 1937, by radio station WQXR, New York.
