Georg Solti - R.Strauss: Orchestral Works (1972-1979) [2020 SACD Vintage Collection]

A compilation of five analog-recorded works by R. Strauss, in which Solti distributed three orchestras. Super excellent recording by DECCA. Reproduce the spectacular bursting tones with the highest quality sound! All on SA-CD for the first time in the world.

Solti, who recorded many Richard Strauss works including operas on DECCA, has collected five analog-recorded orchestral works on two discs. From 1972's "Don Juan" with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to 1979's "Alpine Symphony" with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, a rarity at the end of analog recording, you can see the transition of excellent recordings by DECCA in the 1970s. It is a set of 2.

The three songs with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were recorded at the height of the orchestra's peak. It is a sound source that is highly evaluated as a dynamic performance that became a rival of. At the time, many people must have admired the straighter, especially the vivid sound of brass instruments. The recording is also extremely vivid, centering on the trumpet group led by Herses that cuts through the air and the rhythmic hits of Solti. Your words are a masterpiece. On the other hand, "Hero's Life" with the Vienna Philharmonic, which has a profound feeling but also a flexibility that is different from the previous recording, is also excellent, and it has long been evaluated as one of the top masterpieces of this song. It's been done. Furthermore, as DECCA, "Alps Symphony" was recorded at a time when digital recording had already started in places such as Vienna. This is also a board that has been well received since its first appearance. The performance time is about 44 minutes, and it seems to be Solti that progresses at a faster tempo than other performances, but the depiction of various scenes and the ability to enhance the effect to the theatrical level are as wonderful as before, and it is SA-CD. It's a top-notch recording to listen to. The excellence of DECCA can be felt more prominently in this reprint.
