乔治·索尔蒂爵士（Georg Solti，1912－1997），英籍匈牙利指挥家，其风格严谨宏伟而具有魅力，为20世纪最伟大的指挥大师之一。他先后在旧金山歌剧院及交响乐团、芝加哥抒情歌剧院、伦敦科文特花园皇家歌剧院任指挥或音乐指导；1971年获得爵士称号后入英国籍；1972年至1975年还曾任巴黎管弦乐团音乐总监。另外，索尔蒂爵士自1969年起担任美国芝加哥交响乐团音乐总监长达23年之久，为该乐团的发展做出了巨大贡献。

The Solti Centenary Concert in Chicago celebrated Sir Georg Solti’s 100th birthday on October 21, 2012, featuring the World Orchestra for Peace. This unique ensemble owes its existence to the vision of its founder, Sir Georg Solti, who believed passionately in peace and the power of music and musicians to be ambassadors for peace. Charmingly hosted by Solti’s widow, Lady Solti, and featuring soloists such as Angela Gheorghiu and René Pape as well as members of the Georg Solti Accademia, this memorable evening presents musical highlights, all of which played a significant role in Solti’s life and career.
Definitely a worthy tribute to one of the most important conductors of the 20th century.
