Classic Dorati, classic recording
06/23/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I agree with the previous, but I'll say a little more about it. You'd not know that these recordings are from the '50s from merely listening. And, holy smokes, what performances! The Minneapolis Symphony was a crack outfit (as it is today as the Minnesota Orchestra) with plenty of verve and unique sound in every section. There is no need to look at a CD to determine conductor and orchestra...and all this personality is fully in service of the music!The Philharmonia Hungarica of Vienna that Dorati used to such good effect in his later complete Kodaly set for London (not to mention all that HAYDN) gives a good account in fine sound, but I kind of lean toward the later presentations (which you'll want to find and have, of course).Nevertheless, this fine Mercury disk is an extraordinary value and a fine example of Dorati, one of the recording art's great practitioners."
Superb

"The suite and sketches of Kodaly and Bartok respectively get their due under the gifted baton of Dorati. This is the one to get."
