HOLST: PLANETS (180g)

Vinyl LP pressing. Holst s Planets is a hi-fi test piece par excellence. The music explores every nuance and dynamic of which a modern symphony orchestra is capable. When reproduced at a realistic volume level with full frequency range the music has a stunning emotional impact at times savage at other times beguiling. The piece has been recorded many times since it s 1918 debut under Sir Boult s baton but it s colours never glowed more brilliantly than in this performance.
