Beautifully played but...
If you were there this is a great buy. If you were not it would be a great rent. Everything is beautifully done but only the Bartok is a complete piece and interesting and heartfelt as the commentary by Lady Solti is, it is not something one wants to hear again and again. This is not a disc one would be likely to play very often for just that reason so unless it is very cheap or you really want a superb performance of the Bartok then I suggest rent, and rent you should as it is a great evening.
Very worthwhile
Solti has always been a favourite conductor with his insight and inspiring leadership. The comments by his widow are very interesting.
