Sir Georg SOLTI

The list author says:

The list author says:
	"A splendid DVD set of Solti with his Chicago orchestra and rehearsing and conducting the Vienna Philharmonic."

The list author says:
	"Like Mahler, Solti was a Central European Jew. There is no finer played or more authentic version in the catalogue."

The list author says:
	"A lovely, heart-warming perfomance of my favourite opera - Solti's last with the CSO."

The list author says:
	"A great cast in a sparkling recording."

The list author says:
	"The strongest cast and the most beautifully played "Parsifal" in superb recorded sound."

The list author says:
	"A stunning recording in every sense of the word. There has never been a greater Electra than Birgit Nilsson."

The list author says:
	"A desert island disc. One of the loveliest singers of our time accompanied by her favourite pianist and conductor."

The list author says:
	"Only a Hungarian can get the colours and rhythms of Bartok just right. Playing and recording are outstanding."

The list author says:
	"A classic version, thrilling and moving. Outstanding Decca sound."

The list author says:
	"Geraint Evans was the greatest Falstaff of his generation. Solti's accompaniment blazes and sparkles and warms the heart."

The list author says:
	"An outstanding cast with the Vienna Philharmonic at its best. The Venusberg music is astonishing: you can almost see the flames burning."

The list author says:
	"One of my top favourites: two heartwarming performances in superb sound. "Siegfried Idyll" is given in the original version, not the bloated one for full orchestra."

The list author says:
	"Superb, passionate performances which will have you on the edge of your seat. If you feel any reticence about Bartok, try this CD by his greatest post-war exponent."

The list author says:
	"A wonderful CD. Solti combines nervous energy and passionate commitment with an exemplary feel for Elgar's splendid orchestration."
