The concert featured Roxanna Panufnik's Three Paths to Peace, an orchestra commission, Mahler's Sixth Symphony, and the Symphonic Fantasia from Richard Strauss' Die Frau ohne Schatten. Founded in 1995 by Sir Georg Solti, The World Orchestra for Peace is made up of leading players from the world's finest orchestras. Includes a documentary honoring the orchestra's 20th anniversary, Charles Kaye's From War To Peace.

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.
