Claude Debussy Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun

The Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Thomas Søndergård

Minnestoa is a wonderful orchestra and this performance is quite memorable!

Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 “Titan” in D Major

Klaus Tennstedt conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

This is a stellar performance of Chicago when they were at the height of their stunning heroic brass section. Many of these stars are no longer living. Reserve the time to hear the whole recording – you will be mesmerized.
