Classic recording by the Los Angeles Philharmonic of the Planets from 1998 with Zubin Mehta
conducting.
Probably the most famous classical work by a British composer, The Planets was an
instant success, admired as much for its originality of musical thought as for its brilliant orchestration
and inspired melodies. Mehta gives an impeccable reading of Holst's score, the orchestral playing
deserves the same adjective and the recording is first-rate. Gramophone review
