The issue marked Columbia Records' move away from the 78 rpm format for classical, and the success of Columbia's format soon forced RCA to follow suit.[1][2] The recording had already been released as Columbia Masterworks Set M-MM-577 in 1945.[3][4] The first LP sleeve, a flimsy kraft paper top open envelope, carried the Steinweiss artwork from the earlier 78 rpm album MM-577.
Milstein's playing in the concerto, which was already familiar in the concert hall, received wide critical acclaim.[5][6]

Kern Holoman The Orchestra: A Very Short Introduction 2012 Page 107 "The first classical LP was the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with Nathan Milstein, Bruno Walter, and the New York Philharmonic-Symphony, Columbia ML-4001. RCA capitulated in 1950, leaving 45s as the medium of choice for pop singles."

The following year Columbia made what it regarded as record history, introducing the first twelve-inch LP, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, with violinist Nathan Milstein and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Bruno Walter ... Within a year and a half of the introduction of the LP, Columbia had sold twice as many Masterworks as RCA was selling of Red Seal. RCA had begun to lose its artists.

^Henry Roth Violin virtuosos: from Paganini to the 21st century 1997 Page 135 - "Milstein's Mendelssohn concerto with Steinberg and the Pittsburgh Orchestra is the best engineered of his three recordings, but the old mono version (Bruno Walter, New York Philharmonic) is perhaps a bit superior in terms of spontaneity."
^Anthony Paterson The World of Compact Discs - Contemporary Review - 1 September 1999 - "Here we have a recording of two of the greatest Romantic concertos, those of Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky with the Vienna Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado. This disc is an additional highlight of the Penguin releases. The VPO's famed strings harmonise perfectly with the sensitive performance of the soloist, Nathan Milstein. His skill is especially evident in the andante of the Mendelssohn concerto. "
