I'm very particular about how The Planets is performed, and while my favourite recording of it is Andre Previn's version, this London Symphony Orchestra recording is basically as good. The orchestration is perfect, the timing is spot on, and all the must-have moments are delivered with exactly the impact or mysticism required. Beautifully done.
The Planets is such an influential symphony that you hear echoes of it in music today. It's one of the greatest musical works, ever.
Favorite track: The Planets, Op. 32: Neptune, the Mystic. Andante - Allegretto.
