Maazel created his own version of "Wagner Without Words" which is really quite good on BluRay. Much better than other attempts to cobble together orchestral highlights from Wagner, his version pulls them into a coherent piece rather than just a bunch of individual selections.The obit in the NYT is correct. I attended quite a few of his concerts with the NY Philharmonic when I lived in NY. They could be dry and sometimes too slow for my taste. But sometimes, everything would come together and the result would be quite magical.
I don't own a lot of his recordings, but his Sibelius set is pretty impressive.
