C.\/Antal Dorati <\/a>&#8211; <\/strong>Dorati conducted the National Symphony from 1970 to 1977, and, always the orchestra builder, brought its performance standards up to higher levels of excellence. During his tenure in DC, Decca\/London recorded and released several LPs, most of which have lapsed into obscurity. This Wagner collection is a fine example of the capabilities of the NSO during this period of\u00a0 rebirth, coupled with outstanding sonics by the Decca team recording in Constitution Hall. Demonstration quality, restored from a near mint Decca LP.<\/p>\n<p>Dorati&#8217;s Decca LPs from his NSO Washington DC tenure have been ignored for some time. Most critics at the time of the series original releases seemed to be put off by the NSO&#8217;s performances. I think a reassessment of the series should be in order. The reissue is a good start; wonderful playing from the NSO, with great sonics, and no-nonsense interpretations.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for visting! &#8211; Cheers &#8211; Curt Timmons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KHCD-2011-072 (STEREO) &#8211; Wagner: Orchestral Selections from \u201cDer Ring Des Nibelungen\u201d &#8211; National Symphony Orchestra, Washington D.
