  • Description

    Released to mark the centenary of the first performance of Holst’s The Planets on 29th September 1918, Guild is proud to release this sonic spectacular recording – the first recording of The Planets that was made with 24-bit digital technology by the Abbey Road Studios mobile unit – that has lain in the vaults since it was made in one day in 1993. Multi-talented popular music legend, Mike Batt conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in an inspired account of Holst’s masterpiece and concludes the CD with a rousing performance of Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1.
