According to this 2022 article which mentions Solti:

- He wielded his baton with all the subtlety normally reserved for whipping mules. Children exposed for any reason to one of Solti’s shrieking maidens invariably cry. He mixes Wagner’s hummable tunes with the latest in electroshock therapy. Moreover, his orchestral blasts are equally monolithic, bracing, and forceful. I once played him aloud in a New York apartment, on a hot summer day, with my windows propped open. The cars in the street began honking madly. I’m pretty sure two burglar alarms went off. Until dubstep, Solti was the most somatic music money could buy. You always knew something was going to happen if you put him on. I don’t mean anything good, but sometimes boredom doesn’t respond to any mild cure.
