Synopsis

Amazon.com
The dionysiac power and sonic splendor of this landmark 1971 recording continues to pack a wallop in the digital age. If Solti had recorded nothing else, this alone would have ensured the late conductor's formidable Mahler reputation. But why isn't London's single disc remastering available in the United States? --Jed Distler

CD Reviews

This recording is spellbinding.
Jacob Greenberg | Chicago, IL | 12/23/1998
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony are at the absolute height of their powers in this phenomenal recording from 1971. This is (no exaggeration) surely one of the most incredibly accurate and exhilirating orchestral performances put on disk, and the soloists (including masters like Lucia Popp and Arleen Auger) could not have been bettered. This is one of my most treasured disks, and it makes the piece sound like one of the great choral/orchestral works of all time."
