Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
was a Japanese author, one of the major writers of modern Japanese literature, and perhaps the most popular Japanese novelist after Natsume Sōseki. Some of his works present a rather shocking world of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions; others, less sensational, subtly portray the dynamics of family life in the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. Frequently his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which constructions of "the West" and "Japanese tradition" are juxtaposed. The results are complex, ironic, demure, and provocative.

Karl Barth
Karl Barth ( – ) (pronounced "Bart") was a Swiss Reformed theologian whom critics hold to be among the most important Christian thinkers of the 20th century; Pope Pius XII described him as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas. Beginning with his experience as a pastor, he rejected his training in the predominant liberal theology typical of 19th-century European Protestantism. Instead he embarked on a new theological path initially called dialectical theology, due to its stress on the paradoxical nature of divine truth (e.g., God's relationship to humanity embodies both grace and judgment). Other critics have referred to Barth as the father of neo-orthodoxy — a term emphatically rejected by Barth himself. The most accurate description of his work might be "a theology of the Word." Barth's theological thought emphasized the sovereignty of God, particularly through his innovative doctrine of election.

A native of San Fernando di Puglia, Italy, he began to play the mandolin at the age of five. Just before the turn of the century he won an international competition, which took him on a tour of European cities. In 1900 he performed in England and decided to stay for three years. He dazzled the Sultan of Turkey and was made a royal musician for seven months in the year 1903. Among his patrons were Kaiser Wilhelm (Germany) and Czar Nicholas (Russia). He moved to the US and appeared on early radio, in vaudeville and Broadway shows. He appeared in productions of the Metropolitan Opera and composed for the mandolin and orchestra. In the eighth edition of George Whites Scandals (1926) Mr. De Pace shared the bill with Broadway veterans Ann Pennington, Frances Williams, Harry Richman and Willie & Eugene Howard. When Mr. De Pace died in New York in June 1966, six children and thirteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren survived him. One of his grandchildren, Bobby, is a composer, lyricist and leader of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).

It is scored for a chamber ensemble of flute/piccolo, clarinet (B flat and C), two pianos, glass harmonica, xylophone, two violins, viola, cello and double bass - in this recording, a full orchestral string section is used, and instead of the glass harmonica, there is a glockenspiel. Saint-Saëns believed that the work was too frivolous to publish during his lifetime, and for this reason, he only gave private performances to his close friends. He left a provision for it to be published posthumously, so the Carnival of the Animals only received a formal premiere one year after the composer's death.

Bernardo de Pace (1886–1966) was a musician and comedic vaudeville performer of the 1920s, billed as "the Wizard of the Mandolin".
De Pace won an international mandolin contest at the age of 11, and as his grandson Bobby De Pace later put it, "From 11 to 17, he played for kings and queens." For many years, de Pace was mandolin soloist at the Metropolitan Opera in addition to his star turns on the vaudeville stage. His camp performance style is captured in a Warner Bros. Vitaphone short from 1927 (''Bernado'' [''sic''] ''de Pace: The Wizard of the Mandolin'') which was released on DVD in 2007 as part of ''The Jazz Singer'' deluxe edition, and two MGM shorts from 1929. He also released a series of recordings ranging from light classical pieces to original compositions in traditional Italian style.
