"In terms of recorded sound, Dorati’s Rite with the Detroit orchestra scores over almost all its rivals. This has stunning clarity and presence, exceptionally lifelike and vivid sound, and the denser textures emerge more cleanly than ever before. It is a very good performance too … generating plenty of excitement … the performance is so vivid that it belongs among the very best — for those primarily concerned with recorded sound, it will probably be a first choice in its compact disc format." ~The Penguin Guide
