This perennial audiophile favorite is one of Prof. Keith Johnson's all-time best recordings of the world-renowned Minnesota Orchesta, here in its first recordings with their ninth music director, Eiji Oue, a protege of Seiji Ozawa and Leonard Bernstein
He led them from 1995 to 2002
The compact disc (RR-71HDCD) was a 1997 GRAMMY® nominee for "Best Engineered, Classical"
"My previous audio standard for Sacre, ...is surpassed by the extraordinary naturalism of this superbly engineered disc, which brings the music into my living room with such impact that it's almost uncomfortable at times"
- Leslie Gerber - Fanfare
