A benchmark and legendary recording, released ahead of the 100th anniversary of the first public performance of Holst's "The Planets" (September 1918), Deutsche Grammophon presents William Steinberg's 1970 account, described by Gramophone as "highly stimulating" with "very fine playing from the orchestra" inspired by the conductor's charismatic dynamism. "Steinberg creates great excitement in "Jupiter" and elsewhere, and his orchestra is on its toes throughout." - Classic FM
