- A rare find, indeed, Brahms's four great symphonies complete in a single 2-CD set. Symphonies Nos. 1, 3 and 4 were recorded when Dorati's relationship with the LSO was at its peak. The performances reflect this close association, as does his reading of the Second Symphony with Minneapolis, his own permanent orchestra at the time.
