The Planets, a spectacular depiction of the seven stars of the solar system by the British master Holst
Recorded: January and March 1981, Berlin (digital)
Karajan first recorded this piece in the early 1960s, when it had not yet gained popularity, and made the world aware of its true value. This digital recording, made more than 20 years later, is overwhelming with its more colorful, luxurious sound and powerful, brilliant expression.
