In Masterpieces in Miniature Maestro Michael Tilson Thomas and his orchestra present twelve short favorite pieces by twelve familiar composers, each of the pieces a polished little gem under the conductor and ensemble.

Together, the conductor and orchestra provide a polish and sparkle to make even the most timeworn of these warhorses sound fresh again.
