"This Raven had its first performances in the Philadelphia Academy of Music in 1932, and RCA Victor experimented in recording the work onto 35mm optical film during the actual concerts. The result was issued on two special 78rpm “Picture Records”, whereon the poem, together with monochrome engravings of Stokowski and Edgar Allen Poe, were etched into the shellac."
- "Philadelphia Rarities," notes by Edward Johnson
"In The Raven, Mr. Dubensky says, the music "is not an accompaniment, and, at the same time, it is not independent from the poem. My intention was to give a musical illustration of the different moods of this mystic and romantic poem."
- "The Musical Record," Volume 1, pg. 28
