An Evening at the Sans Souci was recorded in Cuba in high fidelity, so RCA likely reissued it not long after its recording. Aida's Quartet is a vocal group of four women; this alone would be enough to make them nearly unique among Cuban performers recorded for a U.S. audience. Having the O'Farrill orchestra behind them and being recorded in Havana are assets, but this is purely a vocal album. Generally it sounds like the chorus and orchestra in an old MGM movie, which is more to say it is romantic, light, and dramatic. Humorous interjections and inflections abound, particularly in the closing rendition of the calypso chestnut "Matilda."
