Solti's Mahler and Wagner were marketed mainly on the "greatness" of the CSO brass section. Even though in the case of the Mahler Six, I once used it to demonstrate the virtuosic superiority of Cleveland's brass section.............I also find Solti's original vinyl transcriptions to "scream" when digitized. He was maybe the biggest victim of digitization of any conductor I can think of. Solti was considered a truly great conductor before the digital age, merely "good" afterwards.
