Georg Solti Children: Meet Gabrielle Solti, Claudia Solti

Sir Georg Solti, a Hungarian-British orchestral and operatic conductor lived from October 21, 1912, to September 5, 1997.

He was well-known for his performances with opera companies in Munich, Frankfurt, and London as well as for his many years as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s music director.

He was raised in Budapest and went to school there under Béla Bartók, Leó Weiner, and Ern Dohnányi.

His career was cut short by the growing Nazi influence in Hungarian politics, and because of his Jewish heritage, he departed the country in 1938 due to the country’s increasingly severe anti-Jewish laws.

He sought safety in Switzerland after directing a season of Russian ballet at the Royal Opera House in London.
