A simple but effective design consisting of a grid of photos of Toscanini that create a sense of animation and movement of a famed conductor, punctured by text in Cheltenham Italic set on a diagonal. The design is uncredited and was most likely done in-house by RCA Victor staff designers.

The photos used on the cover are by Robert Hupka, who as a recording engineer for RCA Victor, took thousands of candid photos of Arturo Toscanini during the NBC Symphony Orchestra rehearsals.
