Description
Originally released in 1986, this recording of Gustav Holst's The Planets Op. 32 was recorded by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by André Previn at Watford Town Hall, London on April 14 & 15, 1986.
"The orchestra is on full alert, with every section keen to show its mettle, whether the punchy brass in Mars and Uranus, the fleet woodwinds in Mercury, or the strings–buoyantly dancing in Jupiter and marvelously ethereal in Neptune. Previn's reading, while primarily straightforward, nonetheless convinces by letting the beauties of Holst's score emerge naturally and effortlessly." - Victor Carr Jr, ClassicsToday
