Music reviews of Holst: The Planets; The Mystic Trumpeter; Colin Matthews: Pluto

Music Review: Great recordings of The Planets and The Mystic Trumpeter!
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a very good performance of the work by Holst, and the orchestra sounds great. David Lloyd-Jones leads an awesome interpretation of the piece here, and each movement/planet flows really nicely. The Pluto track on the end is not a personal favorite, and I find it somewhat boring, honestly, but the Mystic Trumpeter makes up for it, with an amazing soloist and impressive playing by the orchestra. The trumpets in the work left me in awe the first time I hear it, with the staccato notes towards the end. The soloist performs very well, with a beautiful voice and incredible range. Overall, I would say this is a good buy, and a great recording!
