In Rehearsal

Georg Solti was one of the most charismatic maestros of the 20th Century. A true master of orchestral music, he skillfully employed his charm and wit to bring his powerful and dominant vision of the pieces of life through his musicians

These rare black and white documentaries produced in 1966 and 1968 show how Solti's amiable insistence on absolute precision, his energetic style and his close familiarity with the score turn Wagner's Tannhauser Overture and Berlioz' Hungarian March into sharp and haunting performances.
