Now they can enjoy the story behind those concerts, records, and

the symphony orchestra that took shape at the turn of the century.
From the early years of the organization under the batons of Emil
Oberhoffer and Henri Verbrugghen, the chronicle rises to the period
of the great contemporaries, Ormandy, Mitropoulos, and Antal
Dorati. There is a wealth of detail on the career of Mitropoulos,
the renowned New York Philharmonic conductor who reached his
present stature during his leadership of the Minneapolis
orchestra.The extensive concert tours that have earned for the
Minneapolis symphony the nickname of "orchestra on wheels" are
recalled in anecdotes that will evoke many a chuckle and plenty of
amazement. Accounts of early recording sessions offer fascinating
sidelights on this aspect of musical history. A complete list of
the works performed by the orchestra during the past fifty years
provides a significant record of changing trends in musical tastes.
A roster of al the players who have been members of the orchestra
is given, and the reference section also includes a complete list
of out-of-town engagements and a list of the orchestra's recordings
which are available.
