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

RE: Mahler + Solti

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.
