BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I shall require the assistant of JWFan's great musical ears...and classical fans.Is there anyone who can help me identify which recording of The Planet's this clip comes from?Unfortunately all I have is the clip...and my Planets collection only spans Previn and Dutoit's recordings...And I have never EVER heard Mars sounding soooo good. I want this recording of The Planets...soo bad. Here's the clip: Clicky. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Pretty good, sounded almost like film music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ok funny enough I am pretty sure it is the James Levine chicago recording - but I do not own the disc. The reason is the clarity. I own a great disc of him on the Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto with Volodos and the clarity and recording quality is unequaled in any other classical music disc i have ever heard. Levine does not settle for less then perfect. Even though I heard he molests boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,086 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Did Solti ever record the Planets?He did. Coupled with (surprisingly...) Pomp and Circumstance as far as I recall.All I can say about this clip is it doesn't sound like Dutoit or Marriner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Levine does not settle for less then perfect.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I hope that you were joking, Stefancos.Wagner was an anti-semite. Polanski had sex with an underaged girl, Woody Allen married his own stepdaughter, JFK was a sex-addict and addicted to several types of medication.People have no problems forgiving someone's debauchery if that person somehow manages to inspire us.I see no reason for Levine to be treated with any less regard then these other great men.And if Levine is indeed a pederast and a perfectionist then he's probably the worlds greatest pederast.That alone deserves some admiration, no use doing things half-assed!

UK_Tubist 6 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Er, surely you're not talking about Richard Strauss being anti-Semitic, as he had a Jewish librettist after Hofmannsthal, as well as a Jewish daughter-in-law. Now, Wagner, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaderbait1 1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have a great recording, but I copied it from the library and forgot to write down the conductor or the version, unfortunately.EDIT: Wow! That's a great recording. I need to find this. Though I still think I like the orchestration on mine better. And to the poster who said it sounded like something from DS9, it does. That or Star Trek Generations. But then again, virtually every sci-fi or adventure movie has taken music from The Planets, especially Mars.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 I finally got this baby...It was worth it for the quality of Mars alone. And everything else sounds just as good.

Goldsmithfan 6 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wagner was an anti-semite.That's what Goldenthal meant in his commentary to Final Fantasy when he said he was going to slander Wagner and then proceeded to mention evil things beneath the surface!I meant to look it up after I finished the commentary but it slipped my mind.
