About

Antal Doráti is well known as a conductor within interested audience sectors, not least through the unparalleled range of his recording catalogue. But moreover, the Hungarian-born American has also left behind a compositional oeuvre of not insignificant proportions. The Chosen – as the work was named in English by Doráti – is his only stage work and is based on the mystery play Elija by distinguished philosopher Martin Buber (1878-1965). It was his mentor Doráti himself who drew the attention of Martin Fischer-Dieskau, initiator of this world premiere recording in Cracow and internationally acclaimed conductor and scholar, to this Opus Magnum.

Choc du Classica

Yannick Millon – Classica magazine (France) – February 2023

“… All six singers of the major roles pronounce the Buber-based text beautifully and meaningfully, never wobbling or ranting… his [Martin Fischer-Dieskau] experience shows here in his firm control and his apt adjustments of tempo and orchestral balance… Hearing this opera has made me want to seek out other works by composer-conductor Dorati…”

Ralph Locke – American Record Guide – November/December 2022

“Doráti’s unknown opera receives a thoroughly worthwhile first recording, and has some highly impressive moments.”

Paul Corfield Godfrey – MusicWeb-International.com – 11 October 2022
