Daphnis and Chloe

Dorati took over the Detroit Symphony when I was in medical school there, around 1980.  I must have seen him conduct 20 concerts.  I lived by the hall and student tickets were dirt cheap.  I don’t remember him conducting any French Music at all.After years of record collecting it’s clear that he did his best work for Mercury in the fifties and sixties.

  I listened to this on Apple, which means I had to use AirPlay.  I still can’t find it on Qobuz although I believe you that it’s available.  TBH sonically I don’t think it compares well with Monteux and the LSO or Munch and Boston, both of which were recorded a few years later but in stereo.  It does compare well with Toscanini/NBC, which is the only mono account that I had previously heard 

On Qobuz I simply typed in “Daphnis Dorati” and found it.

Thanks for the suggestion about finding it on Qobuz, but when I tried it again the recording didn’t materialize.  Weird
