Happy 100th birthday for tomorrow, wherever you are. Thank you for your great recordings of great music. JackofOz 09:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
In about 1974 I was turning pages for the Hungarian-American cellist Janos Scholz. I happened to ask him why everyone seemed to stress "Dorati" on the second syllable when all Hungarian words, and names, are stressed on the first. He (who of course knew Dorati) replied that "Dorati" was a non-Hungarian name the conductor had made up himself--for obvious reasons, if you knew that his birth name was "Deutsch."

FWIW: In his autobiography, Notes of Seven Decades (Wayne State University Press, Detroit, 1981, p. 82), Doráti states that he came from a family of "mixed but mostly of Jewish blood." Wiki writers usually catch if a subject is Jewish; they might have missed this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:D280:8BB0:FD82:A960:E522:387C ( talk) 05:37, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
According to the linked article on Orchestra Hall, and my memory as a youngster attending DSO concerts, the Orchestra did not return until 1989. Given the length of the restoration, Dorati probably advocated for it long before it actually happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.88.212.44 ( talk) 17:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Ernst Märzendorfer and the Vienna Chamber Orchestra beat him to it by a hair (completed by 1972), I believe. See e.g. A Century of Recorded Music at Google Books, page 100. Not a widely distributed recording however! (Ah. No article on him yet. Course...) Schissel | Sound the Note! 17:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Several works of his are recorded (more than for several other conductor/composers, I believe), enough to establish notability by the criteria used on this site (and more works recorded than a number of composers on this site whose notability I'm not doubting, for that matter)?... BIS has recorded his symphonies, for instance (and I believe I've seen them broadcast more than once. (As already noted in the article). Also choral and chamber works as well. Raphael Wallfisch performed his cello concerto in concert with Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra as well last year.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 03:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
