2020年是小提琴大師艾薩克．史坦（Isaac Stern, 1920- 2001）百歲冥誕，為此Sony唱片公司特別將其錄音完整收錄於大全集中。內容為75張於1945-80年間，於Sony唱片旗下品牌哥倫比亞（Columbia）所有的類比錄音專輯，許多都是無可取代的歷史名演。產品總重量達4.3公斤，更是份量十足。
艾薩克．史坦的演奏具有堅實的技巧與浪漫的感情，藝術成就極高。出生於烏克蘭，周歲時便隨雙親移居美國。由母親啟蒙其音樂教育，6歲學鋼琴，兩年後學小提琴並進入舊金山的音樂學院學習，11歲時在蒙都指揮舊金山交響樂團協奏之下首度登台演出聖桑的小提琴協奏曲。1937年在紐約首演，1944年在卡內基音樂廳舉行個人獨奏會。二次世界大戰後，於1948年，首度巡迴歐洲演出。他的足跡遍及全球，曾經兩度環球旅行演奏。每一次他的演奏都是全力以赴，態度真誠而熱情，令人印像深刻。
早在世人還不認識他之前，史坦的琴音已隨著1946年由Joan Crawford與John Garfield主演的電影「銀海香魂」（Humoresque）之配樂傳揚全世界。這部電影的配樂選曲曾在1947年以78轉的黑膠唱片發行，在此則首度以CD格式發行。收錄的樂曲包括Waxman令人驚嘆的《卡門幻想曲》。
1951年史坦在畢勤與皇家愛樂的協奏下，完成西貝流士小提琴協奏曲的錄音，旋即成為海菲茲於戰前錄音版本的勁敵。知名的弦樂雜誌The Strad當時便表示：「史坦年輕的音韻已經點燃」（the young Stern's tone already burns）。此外專輯也收錄史坦演奏多位作曲家的作品，包含柴可夫斯基、孟德爾頌、維尼亞夫斯基、布拉姆斯、巴哈、韋瓦第、莫札特、普羅可菲夫、巴托克、貝爾格等人協奏曲。這些無可取代的錄音版本由羅普洛斯（Dimitri Mitropoulos）、華爾特、塞爾、奧曼第、伯恩斯坦等人指揮。
專輯中也收錄了必不可少的室內樂作品錄音，其中數張專輯首度以CD格式發行，包括與鋼琴家Alexander Zakin合作的莫札特、法朗克、布拉姆斯與巴托克小提琴奏鳴曲，以及1952年與卡薩爾斯及其合奏團演奏的布拉姆斯《弦樂五重奏》與舒曼《鋼琴五重奏》。這些經典演奏，都一一重現在這套全集中重現，就如同史坦的許多錄音一樣，從不曾黯淡退色。
美國名作曲家兼樂評家湯姆遜曾認為史坦是「世界性大師」，而小提琴大師帕爾曼（Itzhak Perlman）曾受邀為史坦的錄音作品寫一篇序言，他指出：「史坦是一位真正偉大的音樂家。這些錄音包含了他音樂藝術的至高成就。他對於音樂的奉獻無法用言語表達，但他卻用音樂表達了一切。任何唱片圖書館都不應缺少這些代表他一生成就的重要錄音。」
