	Paul Paray - A Frenchman in Detroit
		In early 1953, Paray and the DSO cut their first records for Mercury, which had startled the hi-fi world in 1951 with the unprecedented clarity and musicality of an acclaimed series of albums using a single microphone and no equalization, filtering, mixing or compression.
		Paray brought to all his work the highest achievement in any art, whether acting, painting or music –; from careful preparation, constant revision and grueling work emerges something natural, accessible and inviting.
		Paray’s extraordinary efforts to transform the Detroit Symphony into the world’s greatest French orchestra created a preserve for a dying tradition of which he was a final ambassador in an astoundingly unlikely place as geographically and culturally distant from its source as possible.

		He and Paray seem to have been determined that the organ could be heard and even felt, even in the continuo section.

		The Paray was recorded in the Ford Auditorium, since destroyed because of ugly acoustics and deservedly so, according to most.

		Paul Paray and his Detroit Symphony Orchestra were top exponents of a variety of classical music in the post-World War II Era.
		In this album, Paray creatively compiles fatalistic music- that is music in which death or tragedy is mixed with the art of dancing.
		If you read transcripts from Paray's rehearsals, the mystery only deepens as to what it was that he did to get such inordinately extraordinary results, such as this program demonstrates.

	Paul Paray: Joan of Arc Mass/Symphony No.1, Wuthering Heights: A Tribute to Alfred Newman
		Paray is best remembered for his tenure at the helm of the Detroit Symphony during the heyday of Mercury records (1952-63), to which he contributed some classic recordings, especially in the modern French repertoire.
		Though he lived (and conducted) to a venerable 93, Paray did not have the satisfaction of seeing his compositions taken up by other conductors during his lifetime.
		Paul's performance is obviously a labour of love (he vowed to one day conduct it after a first cathartic exposure to the work in boyhood.) Orchestra and chorus are admirable, the recording lush yet spacious.

	Classical Net Review - Paul Paray conducts French Orchestral Music
		Paul Paray was always well known for his mercurial interpretations of French music and this five-disc set contains a veritable feast of works for all those Francophiles who remember this great conductor.
		Paray was always a fine interpreter of Lalo and his readings of the 'Roi d'Ys' and 'Namouna' Ballet Suite are models of their kind with recordings that contain just the faintest hints of distortion.
		Definitely one of the finest sets in the recorded history of Mercury, Paul Paray's collection of French music is a must for any serious Francophile.

		The justifiably famous early stereo recording of Paul Paray conducting French music including Chabrier's Espana has been issued by Universal in their Mercury Living Presence SACD series.
		Paray's Espana is also one of the LP's released by Classic Records, a company that specializes in high-quality audiophile reissues of classical and jazz material primarily of the 1950's and '60s.
		Paray was of course Mercury's "French specialist," and while I generally prefer RCA's Charles Munch in the same repertoire, Paray could at times be the more energetic and (superficially) exciting conductor.

		Monte Carlo, however, was Paray’s first home, especially after his tenure with the Municipal Orchestra and his work at Concerts Colonne.
		What is compelling about these Concert Hall discs, despite their often fatuous or missing recording data, are the intensity of sound and orchestral projection Paray elicits from his players.
		Paray favors those little hints of pesant phrasing and dynamics that add a girth that too many other interpreters pass over glibly.
