Recordings worth hearing
Boult / London Philharmonic Orchestra
ReferenceEMI / 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
ModernDecca · 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.
