Solti conducts Bruckner: Symphony No. 6

Throughout his remarkable 22-year tenure as the music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Georg Solti was credited for building on the orchestra's impressive heritage and bringing it as an unstoppable musical force into the CD era. At the heart of his repertoire was the Austro-Germanic symphonic tradition, of which Anton Bruckner was one of the last great exponents. And here conductor and orchestra tackle the composer's Sixth Symphony in a performance of rare stature: thrillingly played and compellingly conceived, it's an account of a long-underrated symphony that powerfully makes its case as one of the composer's finest works.
