Editorial Reviews
This too-brief but informative and insightful documentary was finished soon after Maestro Solti's death in 1997 at age 85, a title card informing us that the very last interview was filmed five days before he died. In only 90 minutes, Solti's extraordinary life and career are vividly recounted, from his upbringing in Austria to his clash with the Nazis while in his late 20s; from his days leading the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden to his shaping of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra into one of the world's greatest musical ensembles. Solti himself engagingly discusses his techniques and musical influences (including his analytical account of Richard Strauss as a conductor) while colleagues like soprano Kiri Te Kanawa and director Sir Peter Hall and his widow Lady Solti give their own personal takes on the man. The Making of a Maestro is a richly satisfying glimpse at a seminal musical artist. -- Kevin Filipski
