Music reviews of Holst: The PlanetsMusic Review: 3.5 stars- Not a bad version but the sound quality is lackingAs far as interpretation and playing this isn't a bad version of the "Planets" but the sound quality is very thin sounding. Maybe the ambient surround imaging isn't a very good recording technique. I would say that of all the recordings of this work this would be in the middle of the pack. I think there are a few other issues of this and on one it comes coupled with a selection from Star Wars. It might have better sound quality but I'm not exactly sure since I've never owned that particular issue. I think you should try Karajan's two recordings or Levine, Dutoit, and maybe Gardiner for this great work. Karajan's 1981 DG version is my particular favorite and has a very powerful and menacing "Mars" and a very beautiful and lovely "Jupiter" movement.
