Auspicious Strides. That Minneapolis was chosen to play the U.S. premiere of such a major work (TIME, Oct. 14, 1966) is attributable largely to the auspicious strides that Skrowaczewski has taken there in recent years.

Since then, the New Philharmonia, as it is now called, has shown that it is as robustly alive and kicking -if Leggeless-as at any time...
...London reissued ten operas, including Renata Tebaldi in La Boheme and Madama Butterfly. Mercury followed London's lead, establishing its Wing label, featuring such surefire favorites as suites from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker and Swan Lake ($1.98 for mono, $2.98 for stereo), ably rendered by Antal Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony...
