Sir Georg Solti - The First Recordings as Pianist & Conductor 1947-1958.

When Sir Georg Solti died in September 1997, a month before his 85th birthday, he had been an exclusive Decca artist for 50 years.

During this incredible exclusive association Solti made some of the legendary recordings in the history of the gramophone. What is sometimes forgotten is that when Solti first signed to Decca in 1947 it was as a pianist and his first recordings were as partner with violinist Georg Kulenkampff (all of their recordings are included here with the exception of one Mozart Sonata).

Solti was a musician of broad sympathies who, during his long career, continued to explore repertory that was new to him. All of the recordings included here are receiving their first international CD release and the recordings of Kodaly and Richard Strauss are released with the co-operation of Deutsche Grammophon.

The three excerpts from Elektra (amounting to nearly half the complete opera) are particularly fascinating as this was an opera Solti conducted throughout his career and which he later recorded in its entirety in Vienna in the 1960s with the incomparable Birgit Nilsson in the title-role. Even in this group of three scenes all the essential Solti charateristics are in evidence: tremendous rhythmic drive and an acute ear for orchestral colour and detail.
