Antal Dorati

Japanese: ドラティ - どらてぃ(英語表記)Antal Dorati
Antal Dorati

An American conductor of Hungarian origin. He studied under Bartók and Kodály at the Budapest Conservatory in his hometown, and made his debut as a conductor at the Budapest Opera House in 1924. After a successful career as an opera and ballet conductor in various parts of Europe, he moved to the United States, where he served as the principal conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra after World War II, and then the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra from 1949. He left his American post for a while to work in England and Sweden from 1963, but returned to the American music world in 1969 as music director of the Washington National Symphony Orchestra, and then became music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (1979-1981). Although he had a wide repertoire, Doráti's recording of all of Haydn's symphonies is his greatest achievement. He first came to Japan with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1963 (Showa 38).

ハンガリー出身のアメリカの指揮者。生地ブダペスト音楽院でバルトーク、コダーイなどに学び、1924年ブダペスト歌劇場で指揮者としてデビュー。ヨーロッパ各地でオペラ、バレエの指揮者として活躍ののち渡米し、第二次世界大戦後ダラス交響楽団、ついで49年からミネアポリス交響楽団の常任指揮者を務めた。63年以降イギリスとスウェーデンで活動するため、しばらくアメリカのポストから離れたものの、69年にはワシントン・ナショナル交響楽団音楽監督としてアメリカ楽界に復帰、ついでデトロイト交響楽団音楽監督となる(1979~81)。レパートリーは広いが、ハイドンの交響曲の全曲録音は、ドラティ最高の業績といえる。63年(昭和38)ロンドン交響楽団と初来日した。
