Sir Georg Solti – one of the greatest conductors of his day – is profiled extensively here, both in the definitive profile “Solti – The Making of a Maestro” and in exceptional performances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. The film captures not only the last year of his life, but his singular musicianship and vision demonstrated through his expressive and individual conducting. A portrait of total musical mastery.
