I have loved 'The Planets' since a young child, but there has been a problem since then: No recording of this work has quite lived up to the Dynamic i remember experiencing when i heard this music played live at the Liverpool Philharmonic.
The digital format raised hopes, but did not deliver. I have heard numerous recordings on vinyl and CD, played by orchestras from many countries. The best version i had was an 80's LSO recording, until this came along...
The Direct Stream Digital recording medium and an awesome performance by the current LSO makes me feel i have come home; THIS is the one! This CD is simply the best quality recorded performance of The Planets i have ever heard, it is breathtaking in it's scope.

Every time you listen to this CD you will be amazed at the quality of it. Excellent playing from the orchestra under the experienced direction of Davis- he makes the music shine; flexible and powerful playing from the LSO. The recording is surely demonstration quality; you cannot listen to the start of "Mars" - or any other section of the set -and not be amazed by the clarity of the sound.
For the price, this is an excellent set; it remains one of the best even compared to rivals that cost much more.

Old Classic
Classic 'Classical Music' album, really missed the melodic tones of Holst Planet Suite since my poor tape recording faded about 2 years ago.

Stirring!
Who can fail to be moved by Holst's 'The Planets' and not to hum along with some of the well known movments.

Glad I bought this version
Good performance of The Planets. Not heard too many other arrangements but this one is excellent. If you are after a copy of Holst The Planets then this one will not disappoint.

I play it four or five times a day.
There's something inviting about the title, The Planets. If you like like classical music, particularly loud classical music, you will certainly enjoy this.
