Product Description The Planets features 7 movements based on the planets in our own solar system excluding Pluto and the Earth itself. This work is conducted by Zubin Mehta and performed by the L.A. 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 Records in the early 1970's as well as the highly refined sound of the XRCD24 process. (Previously deleted:2/1/12. Original release date:3/7/08) Review It is, 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. I wonder if the recording sessions took place over a period of several days, because the other planets are not graced with the rightness of sound these three are. I do know that Royce Hall isn't a recording engineer's first choice for acoustics, and that what the London/Decca team did here was to take the orchestra off the stage and position it on the hall floor. The sonic effect it creates is that of a soundspace with no boundaries.For my money, Mehta's Saturn is the best on record. He gets it right, and right down to the heavenly ending of high bells and subsonic organ pedal points (these we use here to adjust the output level of the super woofers we are likely to encounter). The opening notes of Saturn, played by the string basses, are an effective test of your woofer's midbass clarity and authority - gotten right, you can hear the players in a row stretching from the front of the right speaker in a convex curve backward. There is also a particularly sweet reed sound (at 3:40 into the piece), where the winds truly sound like winds, dimensional in body and extended in overtones, a first for me on digital.Uranus is, as you might expect if you know anything about astrology (as Holst did), the orchestral showpiece, with a little bit of everything thrown in, even, toward the last moments, an upward organ glissando (Holst called this planet ''the magician''). But, at the moment, I find Mercury as revealing of truth as the other two. It is scored swiftly and with silken string sound, not to mention a host of bells and small percussive touches. It gets very close to the absolute sound. --Harry Pearson, The Absolute Sound
