“It is a sound such as I have never heard reproduced before . . . they have an authentic Hungarian bite and point which, alongside Chicago virtuosity, is unbeatable.” — Gramophone
Sir Georg Solti was a musician of extraordinarily wide musical interests and sympathies – no doubt one of the most important conductors of the second half of the twentieth century. His legacy is immortalized in hundreds of albums, including the works of Bela Bartok presented here. Recorded over a span of forty years with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra and Budapest Festival Orchestra, these recordings demonstrate Solti’s dedication to his Hungarian roots and his affinity for the music of his fatherland.
Sir Georg Solti was an exclusive Decca recording artist from 1947 until his death in 1997.
