Solti re-recorded several of the overtures in this collection in stereo with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic. But for sheer explosive energy, these rare mono recordings from the late-1940s and the first half of the 1950s remain as persuasive as ever and are collectors’ items.
‘The playing is real musical, intelligent, and interested.’ - (Suppé) Gramophone, November 1951
‘Most enjoyable … well recorded’ - (Verdi) Gramophone, July 1951
‘First-rate, both of them, with every player on his toes (which is the only position in which to play Rossini) and the result is of both charm and virtuosity. A bright recording suits the character of the music…’ - (Rossini) Gramophone, December 1955
