WAY WOW!! I have two regrets.... not being able to invite the person who said " Youth is wasted on the young." NOT. I was waiting to compare the tempo of MALKKI, MANZE, SLOBODENIOUK and others...I HEARD NOTHING. The other regret is that every child doesn't have "Recess Concertos". Especially when I hear as a member of the hospitality industry that some restaurants use concertos to keep away the undesirables. HOW POMPOUS!!! As a child I was invited to a concert, just one, now at 69 I download all that I can. Nothing can compare to sitting in front of the conductor. I dread being in that audience of stiffs.
Dreams conceived in childhood are as evanescent as the landscapes of dreams after waking, our lifes are fleeting and short less 100 years. As we humans age, we humans come to understand how frail truely is. However, the life of Planets is long and can't be overststed
This is the first time I have heard a version of Pluto, the Renewer, added to the planets. Sadly, since it was recorded, Pluto as been relegated to a non-planet, but I love this version. Etherical, and triumphant in its ending
its been almost 10 years since i first watched this and it is STILL my favorite recording of the planets. Specifically the way they play neptune and mercury is top tier
Did Gustav mean to put them in that order, Mercury seems to out of place?...but as music touches, touches the soul, animates it makes sense in the order that they are.... Gustav were you delighting the god's of old..... beautiful.
Magnificent otchestra, you'd never know just by listening these were all young ! A brilliant performance I've thoroughly enjoyed. Well done, hope they've all got fabulous careers !
I have heard many recordings of this work on discs and in live concert, and this is, to me, the best performance of all! Amazing musicians, excellent conductor.
What a joy to see and hear these talented young musicians. I keep coming back to watch this fabulous video when ever I need a reassurance that the future of classical music is in good hands.
