Solti Conducts Wagner Strauss & Beethoven - DVD

Verdi & Wagner [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC] Released 2014 product/publication from C Major

Released for the first time on DVD, this concert is the last in Sir Georg Solti and his beloved CSO's European tour in 1985. Solti himself wrote, InchMy term as musical director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was the happiest time in my professional life.Inch the program on this DVD features Mozart's Symphony No.39, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.4, and an encore of Fortes from Debussy's Nocturnes-all performed with the flair, passion and majestic artistry for which Solti was famed. For more from this composer you can cross-reference Georg Solti in the CREDITS section.

The composer's great-granddaughter was keen to stage Cord Garben's abridged version of the cycle at the Teatro Colin in Buenos Aires, but in the event things turned out rather differently. The present documentary provides a thrilling and visually memorable account of the long journey taken by this version from it's inception to the first night.
