About

“[The] Suite is crisp and vigorous, excellent stereo … outstanding disc” – Penguin Guide

“I much enjoyed Dorati's way with these ... The Dances from Marrossék and from Galánta are old favourites ... compare Kodály's ‘lusher’ harmonies and richer-toned orchestrations with Bartók's more spare ones. These performances are the best of all, in my view. Dorati, a splendid conductor, shines in the music of his native Hungary. The playing of the Philharmonia Hungarica is strong and colourful”
 – Gramophone

Mercury recordings, 1956-59
