Solti, Sir Georg

British conductor

original name György Stern Solti

born October 21, 1912, Budapest, Hungary

died September 5, 1997, Antibes, France

Hungarian-born British conductor and pianist, one of the most highly regarded conductors of the second half of the 20th century. He was especially noted for his interpretations of Romantic orchestral and operatic works.

Solti studied at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest with Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. At 18 he joined the coaching staff of the Budapest Opera and made his conducting debut there in 1938. A Jew, he found safety in Zürich at the outbreak of World War II, but his alien status prevented him from conducting professionally. He won the Geneva International Piano Competition in 1942. After the war he became music director of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich (1946–52), the Frankfurt Opera (1952–60), and the Royal Opera at Covent Garden (1961–71). He assumed British citizenship in 1972 and was knighted that same year.

From 1969 to 1991 he was music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, reestablishing that orchestra's international reputation. He was chief conductor of the Orchestra of Paris (1972–75) and acted as musical adviser to the Paris Opéra from 1971 to 1973. He served as the principal conductor and artistic director of the London Philharmonic Orchestra from 1979 to 1983.

As a conductor Solti was best known for his dynamic and deeply felt interpretations of operas, symphonies, and other large-scale works by W.A. Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss, and Gustav Mahler. He was particularly notable for his sharp attention to musical detail and his ability to evoke a wide range of tonal colours from an orchestra. He made many highly praised recordings from the late 1940s as both conductor and solo performer. In 1958–65 Solti made the highly acclaimed first complete set of recordings of Richard Wagner's opera cycle, The Ring of the Nibelung (Der Ring des Nibelungen), which was released in 1966. During his career Solti won 32 Grammy Awards, more than any other performer in recording history. His Memoirs (also published as Solti on Solti; written with Harvey Sachs) appeared in 1997 shortly after his death.
