I just came across this on Presto Music. Available for pre-order, release on January 20.

Decca Classics lists the contents of the 18 CDs.

https://store.deccaclassics.com/*/Box-Sets/Dor-ti-in-Detroit-Complete-Decca-Recordings/7ODF16YX000

Looks like they mirror the original releases, with original artwork, as is the custom nowadays.

I was in nearby Ann Arbor during most of Dorati's time in Detroit, so I bought all these recordings as they came out, mostly on cassettes. Later I replaced them with CDs, except for the "Rhapsody!" album (CD2) which as far as I know was never reissued as-
is on CD. I digitized the cassette 23 years ago. Two of its items (Dvorak and Enescu) are on an Eloquence "Bohemian Rhapsody" set, but I have not seen the Ravel and Liszt on CD anywhere.

I was just discussing this with a friend and we (modern shoppers we be) thought the price a bit steep for 18 CDs. What about the contents? I've found his Decca Detroit recordings not really as interesting as Mercury when I've had a chance to compare. But
I haven't had many chances. What I really want is a chance to grab his Haydn cycle. And a Mercury box would be tempting.

Any other opinions on how attractive this material is?

I have almost all the Dorati recordings (especially Mercury and
Decca)...
Personally, I have always preferred the Mercury versions...But that's
just my choice !...

But for Haydn, of course, the complete symphonies and operas can be
found on Decca...Even if I think that his vision of the symphonies has
aged well...

The Haydn symphonies are out of print and I'm not paying $300 for them. https://www.amazon.com/Haydn-Symphonies-Joseph/dp/B0000042DP/ref=sr_1_3?crid=24JBBD2AHV5Y8&keywords=dorati+haydn&qid=1673727880&sprefix=dorati%2520haydn%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-3

I suppose it hasn't, but I have yet to hear a version of #64 that is as satisfying to me as the Dorati.

Eloquence is releasing his Mono and Stereo Mercury boxes pretty soon.

Now Presto says February 3. And they raised their price from $87.50 to $90, which is still a lot better than Amazon's $147.

FWIW, Europa disk has it listed for $79.80 plus about $8 shipping to the U.S. That's $15 less than Presto. I've ordered several times without problem from Europdisc.
