Sir Georg Solti
Solti by Paul Robinson ".a beautifully balanced assessment.The author has obviously drawn extensively on personal experience and he expresses himself with clarity, precision and a refreshing impartiality.Robinson displays a scrupulous knowledge of the scores and of the ethos of the works in question." -Jeffrey Joseph, Music and Musicians, September, 1979. Excerpts from a review of the first edition of Solti. When Sir Georg Solti died in 1997 he was at the height of his powers and one of the conducting titans of his generation. The Hungarian-born Solti conducted like a man possessed and orchestras responded in kind.
