It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

TGR:

Solti seems to arouse passions of some critics; me, not so much. I have been annoyed by his tendency to clip rhythms in Verdi (my standard is Toscanini), but still have not found him to be hyper-driven. And further to your comment re Mozart, there's a Magic Flute (with Christina Deutekom as Queen) that is beautiful. I am not familiar with Solti's entire discography, of course, but I wonder from time to time if he did something truly outlandish once and became condemned thereafter to critical expectations of more of the same.
