These include a classical album by jazz pianist Pauline Alpert, a favorite of Gershwin; earliest recordings by fifteen-year-old Elaine Malbin, who later sang principal soprano roles with leading opera companies; the only studio-recorded Italian operatic arias by acclaimed Metropolitan Opera soprano Gertrude Ribla; Hungarian operetta selections, on an album of gypsy songs (!) by Anne Roselle, a distinguished international operatic soprano; the only Broadway recordings by Harry Stockwell and Evelyn Wycoff, the second Curley and Laurey in the original production of Oklahoma!; the only recordings by Jeanne Therrien, winner of prestigious piano competitions, who committed suicide at age thirty-six; and the only then-available recording of Grieg sHolberg Suite,conducted by Rudolph Ganz. Pilotone records were issued in ten-inch, four-record albums onnon-breakable Vinylite. They sold for just under five dollars, higher than RCA Victor Red Seal and Columbia Masterworks albums. In November 1949, the Pilot Radio Corp. of Long Island, New York announced it was liquidating its record division to concentrate on manufacturing radio and television sets. In the 1950s, a number of Pilotone albums were reissued on Grand Award and Waldorf Music Hall LPs.
