Felix Slatkin (1915-1963) was an American violinist and conductor, active in Hollywood studio music, chamber music and orchestral recording. He was the father of conductor Leonard Slatkin.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in a compendium under his own name and in repertory by Delius, Saint-Saëns and Ibert with West Coast musicians.

Slatkin’s musical world combined studio precision, orchestral craft and the flexibility demanded by Los Angeles recording culture. He could move between concert discipline and cinematic polish.

His page is justified by repeated catalogue presence and wider American musical importance. Slatkin gives the index a sleek West Coast string sheen.
