  Antal Dorati - Music Downloads - Online
At the age of 18, Dorati began work at the Budapest Opera House, first as a rehearser, then as a conductor for opera and ballet productions and finally to his preeminent career on the symphonic concert stage.
Dorati makes no apology for being a tonalist, in fact (like many tonalists) he seems in his notes to be almost defensive about tonalism in what he perceives to be an era of atonalism or worse.
Dorati's Symphony No. 1 (1972) and No. 2 (1988) are available on a BIS CD, as are two works for choir and orchestra, Jesus oder Barabbas?

 On An Overgrown Path: Antal Dorati - artist extraordinaire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Antal Dorati was born in Budapest on April 9th 1906.
The superb live Dorati Missa Solemnis was also recorded at one of these concerts, and this CD includes an opening speech on a separate track so it can be programmed out.
The sheer depth of sound Dorati achieved was extraordinary, and the tempi are perfect (by comparison, both the Sanderling and the Chung are far too sedate and civilized).

Throughout his career, from the days of the Ballet Russe in the '30s and '40s to the Detroit Symphony recordings of the '70s and '80s, Dorati followed Strauss scholarship closely and shared his admiration of Strauss with audiences in stunning and communicative performances.
Dorati gets his best performance of his own assemblage of Rosenkavalier excerpts, hypnotic and rythmic with a good measure of Viennese elegance thrown in.
Striking here is the Transfiguration, which does, indeed, do that as the conductor brings up a vertical crescendo and breaks apart the sound into transluscent color that scatters across your speakers' spectrum to startling effect.
