		Solti's conducting is very much like the cast--played to notewise perfection, but it doesn't allow a character development to arise in the recording.

		Surprisingly though, he is slower than Solti is Siegfried's fabulous little aria during the first scene, right before Siegfried leaves and Wotan and Mime begin their scene.

		The first six chapters are named after significant cities in the maestro's life; here, Solti's early years as an assistant in the opera houses of Hungary through his lengthy, triumphant tenure as conductor of the Chicago Symphony are lovingly recounted.
		Because Solti died a few months after completing these memoirs, his enthusiastic plans for future recording projects and programming will not be realized, making this autobiography his final accomplishment.
		Georg Solti does not display false modesty here, yet he does reveal sufficient elements of his ordinary life for us to understand how he developed his extraordinary artistic talent, and how he was eventually able to craft such a wonderful career by working on what he loved most: music.

		Solti's interpretations are simply too sluggish and indecipherable to represent such ideals.
		Whilst several viewers are citing Solti's intrepretation of the first movement of the 'Eroica', celebrating Napoleon and the French Revolution (a dedication he unhesitatingly withdrew) as a detractor from this set, I must say that for me this is one of the sets many highlights.
		But I love this "supercharged" Beethoven style of Georg Solti, and would confidently say that if in Heaven Beethoven himself is acussing Solti of having misunderstood him, I would side with Solti with all due respect to Ludwig Van.
