Recordings worth hearing

  • Boult / London Philharmonic Orchestra

    Reference

    EMI / Warner · 1978

    Boult conducted the premiere and recorded the suite five times. This is the last, and Saturn is slow enough that you hear time itself.

  • Dutoit / Montreal Symphony Orchestra

    Modern

    Decca · 1986

    Colour first. The women's chorus fading at the end of Neptune is drawn out as long as anyone dares, and those fifteen seconds are the hardest in the suite.
