VENICE Verdi "La Traviata", Rossini "L'italiana in Algeri", Verdi "La Traviata", Offenbach "The Tales of Hoffmann", Rossini "Semiramide", Ponchielli "La Gioconda" Georg Solti / Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
This is a 180g Classic Records reissue of the album originally released in 1960 by RCA Victor. There is one prominent scratch covering band 2 of side 1 resulting in a small but steady click as the needle passes over it (see pictures). Aside from this one mark, record looks flawless. Sleeve is generic anti-static. Jacket, including attached color booklet is in excellent condition. Please let me know if you have any questions.
From AllMusic.com Solti's interpretations held more than surface excitement. In conducting Beethoven, for example, he long held that the symphonies should be played with all their repeats to maintain their structural integrity, and he carefully rethought his approach to tempo, rhythm, and balance in those works toward the end of his life. Solti was regarded as, above all, a superb Wagnerian. His performances and countless recordings of other nineteenth century German and Austrian music were also well-regarded, as were his Verdi and his frequent forays into such twentieth century repertory as Bartók, Shostakovich, and Stravinsky. Solti served as a strong advocate for such new works as Hans Werner Henze's Heliogabalus Imperator, David Del Tredici's Final Alice, and Michael Tippett's Symphony No. 4, all of which he premiered in Chicago.
