"…just maybe, the first time I've heard a CD that does justice to a Super Disc analog original. The specific cuts I use here are 3, 5, and 6 (i.e. 'Mercury,' 'Saturn,' and 'Uranus'), each a revelation in itself." HP's Best-Sounding CDs and SACDs – Harry Pearson, The Absolute Sound, February 2008
Written by Gustav Holst over a three-year period in 1914, The Planets is a true masterpiece of classical music and features seven movements based on the planets in our own solar system excluding Pluto and the Earth itself. This world renowned piece, that has always overshadowed Holst’s other famous works of music, is conducted by Zubin Mehta and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. From the thunderously charged emotion of "Mars, the Bringer of Wars" to the faint and distant passages of "Neptune, the Mystic," this release demonstrates the high quality of recordings made by Decca in the early ‘70s, as well as the highly refined sound of the XRCD 24 process. Listen and compare.
