Like many sick in the head lovers of classical music this is actually the third different Shm Sacd of Holst that I bought. I have already reviewed the Ozawa sacd which is awesome and I also liked the Karajan Shm Sacd version as well but slightly less. I was very curious about this Mehta recording ... more |

1974/ 37 minutes/
If you are a fan of early Joel and would like to get a more complete discography of his best work I recommend this disc to you. While I cant say that every track is a winner here the sound quality is very, very good. There are a few instrumentals to choose from and truth be told ... more |

1966/13 tracks/ MONO/ 36 minutes
Depending on whom one talks to there is a common belief that if a recording is originally constructed with mono in mind....that it should only be heard as such. There might be some wiggle room though but not always.
I have the Mobile Fidelity stereo sacd and am ... more |

I don't need to say much in the way of this album and its greatness. I am essentially comparing 2 different sacd versions of this release.
Before I get into the nitty gritty I would like to state that both the Mobile Fidelity and the newer Shm Sacd are fabulous discs and that both of these should ... more |

1980/ 5 tracks/ 44 minutes
My favorite version of this famous Symphony is that conducted and recorded by Bruno Walter in 1958. The Sony sacd is excellent if not ever so slightly bright (in a good way). There are those pundits who feel that Bruno's interpretation is over blown and OVER THE TOP but ... more |

| Anthony.
Thanks for your great review. I will order the other version soon enough and write a review when I find the time.
Looking forward to comparing both versions. The Planets is a work that one cant really get tired of hearing. It runs the gamut of feeling many different. emotions over the seven tracks.
Thanks to all who contributed ... more |

I'm crazy for the Ozawa sacd and will purchase the other recording soon enough.

| I thank you for your kind words and I will take a chance and purchase the version you mentioned. It is on my potential purchase list but I had doubts. I will now buy it based on your comments as you have both versions and I do not.
Thanks for the advice...much appreciated.

| Hi David.
We may be considered a little to picky in our tastes but I have to be when it
comes to this great jazz classic. I hope more fans who purchased this sacd write reviews based on their impressions. I always like to read what others think and are hearing.
Cheers,

| Hi.
I do own this Shm Sacd. I have not reviewed it I don't believe. The sound is actually decent but a tad problematic. In addition the music on this album might not be to everyone's liking.............especially if you are a Bill Evans fan as I am.
Truthfully I actually like this record but others do not. Its experimental for Evans and is a nice ... more |
