I have this version which I was just enjoying yesterday morning....

Yeah Craig, I've borrowed the old CD of the Previn performance from the library, so I was confident in suggesting the DVD-A, although it isn't one of those that I own. Incidentally, after my number one choice(Mehta)and number two(Dutoit), my third choice of those I own is the very fast Steinberg . Hurwitz's review here .

This is the one I own, Holst the kids love to march around to it.

I've just ordered the Mehta (should arrive Thursday), and I have and love the Dutoit. I've also got this SACD. I guess I'll have to add the Steinberg version to the collection.

Have you heard this one? Worth purchasing?

I threw this on today as well. I'd forgotten how much I love this.

Wow that's beautiful music.

Sure beats Nickelback.

I have this one.

Love it AND the price.

Yep...that's the one I've got arriving on Thursday.

I thought this was going to be a thread about words used internationally to wish good health while drinking. Now, I find out it's about astronomy. You guys are weird.

Craig, I borrowed the Gardiner disc from the library. Really good sound quality and a performance that would have thrilled me if I wasn't already familiar with other performances that I liked a little more. So, I didn't buy it, but it certainly is worth considering to add to a large Planets collection.
