Can't help you, but I'd love to get a copy since it's one of the (very) few recordings I appear on (triangle?)!

Only used on LP. I don't think it ever had a CD release. Perhaps Heritage, who reissued the Unicorn Delius collection, and more recently some Brian and Foulds would consider reinstating this to the catalogue.Originally posted by Beef Oven! View Post

Would they sell 1000 copies?Comment

I imagine that comes well through the mix!Originally posted by Pabmusic View PostCan't help you, but I'd love to get a copy since it's one of the (very) few recordings I appear on (triangle?)!Comment

There's only one version on my shelves - Dutoit/Montreal - but that seems a pretty good version to me.Comment

evidently a good choice for a BaL. No wonder it has been chosen as one of the Ten Pieces to get children interested in classical music.Comment

It is "a pretty good version" indeed! It's the only one I know where the organ is dramatically audible. Shivers down the spine, stuff... Love it.Originally posted by VodkaDilc View PostComment

Try Boult's 1973 Prom performance on a BBC MM CD to hear the RAH organ, particularly thunderous in that notorious glissando in Uranus.Originally posted by visualnickmos View Post"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

I do actually have this CD - must give it another whirl - now, in fact!Originally posted by Petrushka View Post
Yes - now I'm thinking about it - it does indeed, have that awe-inspiring glissando.

Someone (can't remember who sorry) on another thread recently said how specific Boult was in getting exactly what he wanted at this point. Apparently, he used to demonstrate it by bringing both forearms down across the entire keyboard.Originally posted by visualnickmos View PostI do actually have this CD - must give it another whirl - now, in fact!

I think I'm right in saying that the Maazel / French National Orchestra version doesn't specify the name of the chorus in "Neptune" and if memory serves the 'Gramophone' review revealed it to be an anonymous boys' choir, probably from some local church.Comment

How do you rate Maazel's 'Planets'? I've read mixed comments on it, generally...Originally posted by seabright View PostComment

I'm sure it must have been a good seller on vinyl at the time. I can certainly remember the cover but not whether I actually bought it or not. I can, however, definitely remember seeing Loughran conduct it at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig early seventies (with Britten Young Person's). Doubtless, many orchestra members were playing it for the first time and many audience members will not have heard it before.Originally posted by Suffolkcoastal View Post

I learned this from the Loughran but it seems underpowered to me
Love the Steinberg - picked up a cheap version last year with Jochum's Elgar AND the VC concerto with Fournier
and the BPO

Rob Cowan played excerpts from the Steinberg in the last year or two but for me no one comes close to Sargent and the BBCSO. It was my first love and I remain captivated it especially the wonderful playing in the last bars of Jupiter - a proper final chord!Comment

Fascinating BAL this one - whatever the outcome - which is just about to be revealed. The notion that you might not even be able to tell what key the work ends in depending perhaps on a door opener/closer or the limits of one's hearing is very odd - though why any piece "has" to conform to any pre-defined key structure is also odd.
Worth recording this one to listen to again and again.Comment
