Soltissimo 2
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Georg Solti's relationship with Mahler defines a crucial part of his legacy, and this collection—drawn from his extensive discography with Decca—gathers some of his most searching interpretations of the composer's symphonic and vocal works. Solti brought to Mahler a clarity and structural precision that revealed the architecture beneath the Romantic sentiment, whether in the turbulent architecture of the Fifth or the cosmic scope of the Eighth. These recordings, made across decades of his career, capture a conductor who never tired of excavating Mahler's contradictions: the simultaneity of beauty and anxiety, tradition and radical reinvention. *Soltissimo 2* traces a kind of Mahlerian journey through the symphonies and song cycles that haunted the composer's imagination. For anyone wanting to understand how a great post-war conductor engaged with modernist Romanticism, this is essential listening.
