Recordings
editI did everyone a favor and modified the 'Recordings' section. Far from being encyclopedic, it descended into blatant self promotion and hagiography. I also added a few details regarding the orchestra's recording history. In addition, I also took the time to clean up the main article. By the way, do we really need to know who the Minnesota's financial chief is and that their offices ran out of space? Who cares? These and other such thoughts are not even blips on the proverbial radar when I'm listening to this orchestra's recordings. What hack (surely an employee of the same orchestra's marketing department) would write such dreck? Anyway, I hope everyone likes the changes. The Sporty Jew (talk) 19:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
The final concert with Vänskä conducting.
editThe article has this: "On October 4, Vänskä conducted a final concert with the locked out orchestra in the Ted Mann Concert Hall on the campus of the University of Minnesota"
That wasn't the final concert with the musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra. There were two more scheduled for October 5. As I write this, Minnesota Public Radio is broadcasting the final concert. 199.86.19.150 (talk) 01:16, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Earlier versions
editThe versions of this page since the labour dispute have been ridiculously weighted to coverage, with subjective text, of the recent labour dispute, to the expense of the earlier history of the orchestra. Whilst I have no sympathy at all for Michael Henson, that does not mean that the article should be so heavily lopsided historically in that way, nor should the text be brazenly subjective (whether I personally agree with it or not). When I have time later, perhaps I will work on earlier history. Until then, real life calls. DJRafe (talk) 08:28, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
