“ I doubt there’s an orchestra in America that has grown this much this fast. They sounded terrific.”
–Paul Horsley, Kansas City Star

This is the first high-resolution digital recording of the Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan fame), and a masterful performance of the colorful Sibelius suites, including the seldom-heard Prelude, which depicts the Shakespearean tempest in all its fury.
