One of America's finest symphonic ensembles, the Minnesota Orchestra has a distinguished recording career going back to 1924. Its list of renowned music directors include Eugene Ormandy, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Antal Dorati, Sir Neville Marriner, Edo de Waart and Stanislaw Skrowaczewski. For the past five years, Eiji Oue's fresh and dynamic interpretations have been preserved for posterity by RR's "Prof." Keith Johnson in state-of-the-art HDCD sonics. MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA SHOWCASE contains highlights from each of these critically-acclaimed recordings - plus the first release anywhere of the orchestra's sizzling new performance of Richard Strauss' DON JUAN!
