However, I used to have the composer's own recording of his Symphony No. 3 (also with the LSO) on the Everest label, and I thought it was pretty shoddy as far as orchestral discipline was concerned. Maybe he was better on his other recordings.Don't forget what Virgil Thomson said about composers conducting their own works: the moment the composer takes up the baton, he becomes just one more interpreter of the music, with no special claims on superiority.
EDIT: I believe Copland wrote some words to the effect that he was quite dazzled by Dorati's performances of some of his music (and of course he was very favorably disposed towards Bernstein's performances too).
