The 45 RPM "Angel Sonic Series" from the late 70's are inenexpensive and sound great. I have acquired several over the years.

I was at that CSO concert (Saturday night), Daniel Harding conducting (I think).  It was the first time in many years hearing it live.  Always a rejuvenating experience 

I have never heard a recording of The Planets that wasn't straight up gorgeous. It is a classic piece that seems to speak to everyone. So special! I got to see the CSO perform it earlier this year. A special moment for me. 

I'll add MHS 4514 The Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Sir Alexander Gibson. Very nice!

Happy you got it!

Just got my copy through Ebay - had to pay a little bit more ($33 incl shipping), but totally worth it.  Thanks for the heads-up.

I got a DSD download of the Karajan/VPO Planets from High Definition Tape Transfer.  I still prefer the Solti/LPO version 

Will have to look into that one.  In January I had the pleasure of hearing the Rochester Philharmonic play The Planets, joined by a local women's choir that my daughter was in, so it was a memorable night for us.     

Got one on DG 1961 original pulled from the GoodWill bin in virgin mint shape for just a buck years ago
