Antal Dorati - Kodály: Hary Janos Suite / Bartók: Divertimento for Strings (1950) [2008]

Doráti tackles his countrymen on this early LP recording

Incredible sound from this release with The Antal Doráti Centenary Society


These recordings from the very earliest days of the tape and LP era have proved to be remarkably well made. Although the original LPs were a little 'murky' in sound on the Society's transfers, something which may reflect the wide variation in playback equalisations required for pre-RIAA LPs, once this was corrected and the sound sharpened up with XR remastering, the difference was astonishing to hear.

KODÁLY Hary Janos Suite
BARTÓK Divertimento for Strings
