Minnesota Orchestra
Stanislaw Skrowaczewski
The Absolute Sound Super Disc List
Skrowaczewski, the Minnesota Orchestra’s Conductor Emeritus, is renowned as an interpreter of the profoundly spiritual, late-Romantic scores of Anton Bruckner. He brings a rare insight and sense of drama to the three movements of the Viennese master’s unfinished Ninth Symphony.
