Antal Doráti, Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
Antal Doráti – The Mercury Masters – The Stereo Recordings (30CD Box Set)
Documenting all of Antal Doráti’s stereo recordings with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra for Mercury, this edition showcases a golden era in American classical recording. The recordings were heralded with superlatives from contemporary journals – “Breathtaking, this Doráti…”, “as technically flawless as it is sonically and melodically intoxicating” (High Fidelity) – and reveals a musical personality centered on dynamism, intensity, and an exceptional ability to persuasively articulate rhythms. The project has been supervised by Thomas Fine and includes CD premieres, a previously unpublished audio interview and rare session photographs from the archives.
