I own another Solti/CSO ffrr (CSA-2228, 1970), this one the Mahler 5. I thought about the B7, and I put these two album boxes together and immediately got a mental picture of the aftermath of a great, complex banquet where the guests had come and gone, the great hall was empty, and the bounty of food was pretty much untouched.
This Mahler 5, like this B7, is another "perfect" studio recording that displays absolute mastery on the part of the musicians and absolute communication and control from Solti, all to the effect that both the symphonies, though well done, wind up unfinished.
Best regards,
