9 June 2015Herbert von Karajan, Bringer of Doom and Transcendence
You would think that Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War" would be a bullet-proof hit by now, a guaranteed thrill regardless of conductor or orchestra.
4 December 2014Five Stars
Excellent recording..
10 May 2014Splendid performance and sound. The BEST!
Herbert von Karajan is a great Bruckner conductor.
9 September 2013Fierce and frightening
You'd be forgiven for thinking of British composer Gustav Holst as a bit of a \"one hit wonder\" and indeed it is likely that you may never encounter another work by him.
20 August 2013A classic pair of recordings now in much improved remastering
These recordings, made in 1960 and 1961, show the combination of Karajan and the VPO off to their best.
3 July 2013My Favorite Perofrmance
I studied "The Planets" in music-school so many years ago, that one of my professors was Sir Adrian Boult himself.
2 June 2013Awesome
Jupiter is especially good.
18 February 2013Stupendous recording
Anyone who enjoys phenomenal orchestral music should purchase this recording.
28 November 2012Yes!
If you love Holst, The Planets, and/or Van Karajan, you'll love this CD:) I really don't know how you can get much better than this.
5 July 2012Planets Imperial
I have been a fan of von Karajan since the good old vinyl days.
