Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Conductor Laureate of the Minnesota Orchestra, is renowned as an interpreter of the profoundly spiritual, late-Romantic symphomies of Anton Bruckner, his performances have won the Gold Medal of the Mahler-Bruckner Society. He brings a rare insight and sense of drama to the three movements of the Viennese master's unfinished 9th Symphony. The remarkable sonics of this 88.2kHz, 24Bit HDCD® recording reveal the hidden mysteries of the score with astonishing clarity and detail.
