No, I haven't heard it; but I sure want to.  Solti did some wonderful stuff
with the CSO in his last days.  That's a great coupling having all those
great Stravinsky symphonies on one disc.  I also thought his Tchaikovsky
5th a remarkable performance, beatifully recorded with the CSO; though the
interpretation is a bit detached, the orchestra playing is dazzling.  Near
the end Solti also made a first rate recording of three pieces including
the Enigma Variations, a set of Paganini variations by, I believe, Boris
Blacher, and a wonderful Kodaly Peacock variations which is not going to
leave my collection any time soon.  Cheers
