Thanks for that, Barbirollians. That will be a valuable addition to the Warner/Capitol and SONY sets.

Bumping this thread, very appositely, as I think we're about to witness much alignment/visibility of the planets in our night sky.Comment

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

Overall recommendation: LPO/Boult (1978)
Also recommended: RLPO/Mackerras (Roger may repeat his embarrassing tale about this!); BBCSO/A Davis
Historical: BBCSO/Boult (1945)Last edited by Pulcinella; 11-01-25, 17:23. Reason: Historical recommendation corrected: temporary brainstorm!Comment

Very illuminating thanks and nice and cheap as I have the top three already . Was very taken by the NYPO/Gardner so may well investigate .I confess I rather like Steinberg’s accents in Mars they remind me of when the piece was written and strike me as reminiscent of WW1 machine gun fire.
The 1978 Boult is one of the few Warner single CDs still in existence - it has the inestimable benefit of being coupled with his magical 1970 LSO recording of the Enigma Variations.Last edited by Barbirollians; 12-01-25, 10:06.Comment

Yes, I go along with that..... In fact I think he sets the whole dystopian 'tone' of his rendition very well with those accents. It somehow lingers in the mind throughout the whole set.Originally posted by Barbirollians View PostComment

I have the VPO Boult, and it’s hard to access the program on these shores. Did the reviewer delineate any critical differences between the VPO version and the LPO? Nice to see another moldy oldy wheeze over the finish lineOriginally posted by Pulcinella View PostComment

No - only extracts from the 1945 and 1978 Boult played.Comment

By coincidence I've just been listening to Sargent' s Decca (LSO - Mono) recording and enoyed it . The Kingsway Hall organ comes through well. He's a little sentimental in Venus, Jupiter and Saturn but Mercury and Uranus sparkle brilliantly.Comment
