5.0 out of 5 stars Big, Beautiful Music!, May 16, 1999

By A Customer

This collection is great fun. I can't imagine a better way to drive home from work on a Fri afternoon than listening to Solti's "Thunder and Lightning" LOUD on an excellent car stereo. Order and ENJOY!!:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Major Orchestras, Major Conductor, Major Power!, June 15, 2004

By	Norman H Stevens (Lake View Terrace, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own multiple recordings of most of the works on Georg Solti's Thunder & Lightning, but I always hold this collection as my reference. Not only with his beloved Chicago Symphony Orchestra, but several other world class ensembles, the Maestro shows his monumental interperative talents to make old warhorses sound as if we've never heard them before. He could inspire an orchestra to "open the heavens or open a flower" with his baton. His presence is missed, but his work is forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solti at his best!!, May 13, 1999

By	Albert Lynd (Edmond, OK) - See all my reviews

A wonderful collection of Solti's intensity and drive in this music. He is at his best here and how nice to hear a variety of orchestras. Good "sampler" for future purchases.
