The Planets was written over sixty years before the great sci-fi film scores it would inspire. In fact, Pluto hadn't even been discovered when it was written. To the often-asked question: "When is Telarc going to record The Planets?" Now, another in the series of Royal Philharmonic / Andre Previn performances handsomely set forth by the digital pioneer. Hear,"Mars" and " Jupiter" and the balance of this masterful work in a digital recording that does justice to its special scoring. From full-orchestra majesty to veriest whisper of the chorus in the final pages of " Neptune, "Previn's acknowledged command of the score is fully realized in this Telarc digital recording. A must for all "hi-fi" enthusiasts.
