This series contains 81 lacquer or aluminum phonograph disc recordings, one recording on open reel audio tape, and 22 digital sound files. Their dates range from 1939 to 1966. The majority are live concert recordings of pieces composed by Eda Rapoport, which were created by or for the radio station WNYC. Others appear to have been recorded in studios in Manhattan and the Bronx.
Some of the recordings feature Rapoport herself, performing her own compositions on the piano. Other musicians who frequently appear include the violinists Yvette Rudin Bader, Carmela Ippolito, and Harold Kohon; the pianists Esther Ostroff and and Maria Rey; the cellist Alexander Goldfield; and the soprano vocalist Gretchen Ganvoort.
