"The Planets" by Andre Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra, renowned for the quality of their recordings.
Recorded at Kingsway Hall in London in 1973.
"The Planets" evokes the essence of Holst, with a lively sense of rhythm that sets it apart from other conductors, a diverse range of expressiveness drawn from the orchestra, and a powerful, compelling sound. Previn's spirit creates a freshness that also captures the essence of Holst. Each piece, including the dynamic "Mars" and the fantastical "Jupiter," is overflowing with charm.
