Wotter hell happened to the version with the "extra" planet, Pluto, added by "esteemed" composer Colin Matthews? There was a CD and a BBC? DVD. I used to quite enjoy them. But I'd rather listen to Holst's operas, "The Wandering Scholar," Savitri ... . And last year was treated to live performances of his Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda and the early Wagnerian tone poem, Indra.

Part of a review of last week's Minnesota Orchestra performance :
" The program was thought-provoking. Here were two major English works composed just a few years apart but with radically different character: Edward Elgar's introverted and melancholy Cello Concerto in E minor, completed in 1919, and Gustav Holst's high-calorie and extroverted set of tone poems, "The Planets," finished just two years earlier. Intriguing though the pairing was, it caused a problem. We tend to perceive music in a context, so hearing the Elgar first, especially in so sensitive a performance as that given by the cellist Steven Isserlis, made "The Planets," coming after intermission, seem even more loud and vulgar than it usually does, something like heavy-metal rock for -orchestra."

Thanks. But the link also gives a fine review of the Adam Fischer Beethoven Symphony set on Naxos, to wit:https://theartsdesk.com/classical-music/classical-cds-and-vinyl-weekly-beethoven-holst
"These perfomances are witty, volatile and full of energy. Strings play with no vibrato, hard timpani sticks are used, and speeds are predominantly fast. There's some weird stuff going on in Beethoven’s shorter, even-numbered symphonies, and Fischer relishes every quirksome detail. Like the weird violin trills which almost disrupt No 2’s jaunty second subject, or the violent musical sneeze which opens the same work’s finale. The syncopations in No 4’s first movement are seriously unsettling, in a good way. Fischer's account of No 8 has to be one of the best out there, culminating in a riotous last movement. Listen to the lower strings rumbling away at 1:12. Wow. And the bizarre sequence of chords before the race to the finish, as if Beethoven hasn’t quite worked out how to wind things up. All brilliant, and superbly played."

If you mean classical music, what about "Greensleeves?"
Any piece of music has a shelf life. Will anyone know "Yesterday" in
1000 years? 200? For most of "Greensleeves" life there was no such thing
as recording. So wherever it ranks will not convey its popularity
correctly.

How true. Lest we not forget, in the early days of the LP one could choose from
two Planets in the catalogue (Boult II or Sargent) or one out-of-print (Boult I on
an RCA LHMV disc). It’s explosive growth has no doubt been fueled by radio
and recordings.

Considering that she died a few years after Karajan's BPO recording was released, I wonder what she would have thought of that. The tempo of that Neptune is a lot slower.
