October 21, 2012 marks Sir Georg Solti's centenary and Decca is celebrating this with several important reissues.Sir Georg was an exclusive Decca artist for 50 years.In 1947 he signed his first contract with Decca - as a pianist and that same year he made his first record as a conductor (with the Zurich Tonhalle in Beethovens Egmont Overture). His last public concerts took place just a few weeks before his death in 1997 and were with the Zurich Tonhalle.Solti was a musician with extraordinarily wide musical interests and sympathies and he was without doubt one of the most important opera conductors of the second half of the twentieth century. His legacy of recordings is dominated by opera and his recording of Wagners Der Ring des Nibelungen - the first ever complete studio recording - has been described as the greatest recording of all time BBCCD 1-2AidaCD3-4un ballo in mascheraCD 5-5-7Don CarloCD 8-9Falstaff (1963 recording)CD 10-11Otello (1977 recording)CD 12-13Simon BoccanegraCD 14-15CD 16 - bonus CD - Verdi Choruses
Fabulous collection, including THE AIDA with Leontyne Price. It's amazing to have recordings with some of the greatest voices of the 20th C. and that are over 55 years old sounding as if they were just captured. If only the libretti booklets could be included.
