Following a litany of requests, Dorati's supreme recording of Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite is reissued on Eloquence together with the original coupling of Robert Russell Bennett's swaggering and masterly orchestral synthesis from Porgy and Bess. As a bonus, Howard Hanson's bright Mercury recording of Grofe's Mississippi Suite fills out this reissue.

*** "superlative Decca recording, very much in the demonstration class ... Yet the performance combines subtlety with spectacle and this version is very much in a class of its own [Grand Canyon Suite] Penguin Guide to CDs

**(*)"Persuasively presented, especially the exuberant portrait of Huckleberry Finn" [Mississippi Suite] - Penguin Guide to CDs.
