For Antal Doráti, one of the mid-twentieth century’s most gifted conductors, Beethoven was a central repertoire choice. This symphony cycle was recorded in 1975–76 at the beginning of his tenure as principal conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Long unavailable, these scintillating recordings, combining weight and depth with dance-like clarity, are newly presented as a CD edition.
