about
Antal Doráti KBE (April 9, 1906 – November 13, 1988) was a Hungarian-born conductor and composer. Doráti was born Antal Deutsch[citation needed] in Budapest, where his father was a violinist with the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra. He studied at the Franz Liszt Academy with Zoltán Kodály and Leo Weiner for composition and befriended Béla Bartók who worked there as a teacher. He made his conducting debut in 1924 with the Budapest Royal Opera. He made his first recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the recording label His Master's Voice. All his recordings at this stage were for HMV in England and most of these were issued in the USA by RCA Records. Over the course of his career Doráti made over 700 studio recordings. He was the first conductor to record the complete symphonies of Joseph Haydn, with the Philharmonia Hungarica: an orchestra comprised of Hungarian musicians who fled the Soviet invasion of Hungary. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1947. He became especially well-known for his recordings of Tchaikovsky's music. He was the first conductor to record all three of Tchaikovsky's ballets - The Nutcracker (1953), Swan Lake (1954) and The Sleeping Beauty (1955) - complete. This was for Mercury Records, with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra (later renamed the Minnesota Orchestra), as part of their famous "Living Presence" series. All three ballets were at first issued separately, but were later re-issued in a 6-LP set. Dorati nev
