drawn extensively on personal experience and he expresses himself
with clarity, precision and a refreshing impartiality.Robinson
displays a scrupulous knowledge of the scores and of the ethos of
the works in question."
-Jeffrey Joseph, "Music and Musicians," September, 1979.
Excerpts from a review of the first edition of "Solti."
When Sir Georg Solti died in 1997 he was at the height of his
powers and one of the conducting titans of his generation. The
Hungarian-born Solti conducted like a man possessed and orchestras
responded in kind. In the 1960s he was chosen to make the
first-ever recording of Wagner's monumental Ring cycle with the
Vienna Philharmonic. For more than 20 years he headed the Chicago
Symphony and under his leadership the orchestra's reputation grew
by leaps and bounds.
Paul Robinson wrote the first comprehensive account of Solti's
life and music in 1979. This new edition of "Solti" is completely
revised and updated. In view of the many important recordings and
films Solti made over his long career, this new edition includes a
comprehensive Discography and a detailed Videography.
