George Szell's commitment to musical truth made him an intimidating figure. His uncompromising quest for perfection drew performances of exalted quality from soloists and orchestras.

Beside such iconic recordings as Strauss's Vier letzte Lieder with Schwarzkopf, Brahms concertos with Oistrakh and Rostropovich, and the complete Beethoven piano concertos with Gilels, it includes several items making their first appearance on CD.
