In Reply to: Mahler + Solti posted by Frihed89 on August 10, 2012 at 12:36:22:
I bought a number of Solti Mahlers when they first appeared on the scene with great fanfare, to me Solti is the modern Toscanini in his approach to music and performance and I never cared for Toscanini.
Over the years as I improved my playback system the Solti/CSO recordings sounded just terrible with each improvement, with my current system they are unlistenable.
