Apparently no orchestras or soloists were used in these recordings - but they were world famous according to the covers of the records. As far as I got, Webster's Library used Remington Records http://classicalmusicreferences.com/home/classical-music-record-sets/ Quote: ["The Webster Library looks a lot like The Standard Treasury of the World's Greatest Music, but uses the Remington Records recordings (Soundfountain Site), which used an inferior vinyl compound, and were noisy. Here is the Wiki article on Remington Records. The Webster set binding is cheap looking vinyl like the Great Paintings set that Standard Reference Works Publishing Company produced. The Standard Treasury cardboard and paper binding looked much better"] which had some cooperation with Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at that time, but no sign of recordings of any kind.
