The repertoire played to the strengths of both label and musicians: mostly Hungarian music from the last half century, vividly coloured and coursing with rhythmic energy. There is an early taste of the ensemble’s feeling for Haydn, in the ‘Surprise’ and ‘Drum Roll’ Symphonies. Doráti’s established reputation as a masterful conductor of ballet brings a sweeping sense of line to a collection of Viennese waltzes. The ace in the pack of the Mercury/Philharmonia Hungarica albums was Respighi’s suites of Ancient Airs and Dances, which soon became a demonstration disc for audiophiles worldwide.
