"(Suite) "Suite is crisp and vigorous, excellent stereo …outstanding disc" (Penguin) (Dances) 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)
