Tonight's concert was recorded last week in Minneapolis, and this leading American orchestra is joined by pianist Garrick Ohlsson, the first American to win Poland's International Chopin Competition.

And Music Director Osmo VÃ¤nskÃ¤, acclaimed for his interpretations of Beethoven, Sibelius and many other composers, gives his first Minnesota performance of Mozart's late masterpiece, his Symphony No. 40, a touchstone of Western art.
