Music reviews of Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (Complete), Suites for Orchestra 3 & 4
Music Review: Dorati competes against himself
Rating: 3 Stars
Yes, Dorati's Suites are the most satisfying recorded versions and have been for nearly 40 years.I'm less enthusiastic about this Nutcraker--Dorati bottles up some tempi and the playing is noticeably not up to the Concertgebuow's standard of the period.
Both Dorati's other recordings are preferable--the extraordinary London SO on Mercury is full of frisson and more complete, the standard masterly, the conductor at his highest form. You'll have to go to old vinyl for his Minneapolis SO version, historic, still good-sounding, played with involvement and delight.
If you still have your vinyl of the London Nutcracker and the Philharmonia Suites, keep it there. Save your dollars for some other great Dorati jewel you don't have yet.
