In Reply to: People get caught up in the audiophile hoopla, but at the end of the day, the Dorati is just not that evocative. Nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on June 11, 2016 at 20:06:59:
The stigma with audiophile recordings and classical music has been that there is an inverse ratio in quality. But I think there are many exceptions to this and Mercury catalog is certainly one of those exceptions. I think Dorati is absolutely terrific. I think a lot of his Tchaikovsky recordings are among the very best out there (for my tastes)
