    I’ve been considering recommending the work to a young (early 20s) relative who’s recently revealed that accompanying me to a couple of Proms has given him the classical bug, and has requested pointers to new discoveries. I’d been wondering which version to suggest, so the resurrection of this thread is timely.

    I guess the Dutoit/Montréal version which is readily available will be the one I choose (which I actually never got round to hearing. Looking forward to the organ, I do agree with DON about that)

    Said relative is now in the French army, I like the idea of Jupiter - or of course, Mars - echoing round some French barracks
    I would look for a cheap copy of either late Boult recording. The 1978 did gone most recently with his marvellous 1970 LSO recording of the Enigma Variations.
