Solti hasn't exactly enthralled me with his Bruckner, but I do like his
7th with the Vienna Philharmonic very much. It has a very nice glow to
it--the VPO is splendid--and Solti is less charged than usual. The great
sound helps immensely. The LP was coupled with a beautiful chamber version
of Sigfried Idyll. The 8th from the same period, also with the VPO, is not
nearly as good. Actually, last time I listened, it wasn't good at all.
It has that same good sound, but it's not enough this time around.
