Artist Information:
"This orchestra has all the right ingredients," writes The New York Times. "The highly polished string sound that has traditionally been its strength; the solid, gleaming brass playing it has cultivated more recently; woodwinds that convey shapeliness and lyricism; and percussionists who aren't afraid to play at full throttle."
