Holst - The Planets - Jupiter

Speaker's corner does a fabulous sounding reissue of the Zubin Mehta lp. Other issues of Planets I own:

The Walter Susskind/St Louis MFSL SACD - dissapointing

Chesky SACD Dennis R Davies/Bruckner orchestra - Excellent

Deutsche Grammophone LP, Steinberg/BSO - Good, not Great. However my copy is from a digital master:(.

All comments are MHO.

If we're talking LP's, I second the vote for the Zubin Mehta version. It's on the TAS list, but is plentiful enough that you can find it at a reasonable price, if not in a thrift store eventually.

My favorites are either George Solti and the London Philharmonic or Herbert Von Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic, don't know if they are available on CD but on vinyl they are unsurpassed IMHO. Michael

Zuben mehta, LA philharmonic, perhaps the best recorded lp Decca has ever made. The ultimate Demo disc.and a performance to match

Previn, London Symphony Orchestra, EMI
