Sir Georg Solti was a Hungarian-British orchestral and operatic conductor. He was discovered in Switzerland by Decca's chief classical producer Victor Olof in 1946. His first recordings were as a piano accompanist but after moving to London started a long career recording for Decca and became their star conductor.

Solti kept the same producer and engineering team with him throughout his long years with Decca. He always considered his recordings a collaborative effort, musicians, conductor and recording team.

"The great virtues of Kulenkampff were his sweet lyrical tone and his exquisite phrasing. He came of a generation that was not afraid to scoop a little but to my mind even his scoops are musicianly. He could also play with considerable passion... As with all 78s, there are tiny fluffs here and there, and traces of faulty intonation, but this is nevertheless glorious playing by both artists. The last page of the slow movement is really tremendous, and touched with inspiration; the phrase may be trite, but it's exact." R.F. reviewing the LP re-issue in Gramophone May 1965
