Although both recordings have already been released by multiple labels, this reissue features exceptionally clear sound quality and offers a glimpse into the composers’ interpretations. Note that this is the first of two recordings of *The Planets* in which the composer performed the work himself.\n\nNeither Holst nor Vaughan Williams had earned a reputation as natural-born conductors, but the brilliant and spirited recordings of *The Planets* and *Symphony No. 4* included here are of monumental significance. Holst’s self-conducted recording of *The Planets* stands out for its flexibility at a brisk tempo, which prevents the music from being stretched out to the point of losing its impact; compared to today’s more common, slower interpretations, it feels fresh, full of vitality, and more moving. In the thrilling 1937 recording of the “Symphony No. 4”—one of the very few official recordings conducted by Vaughan Williams—listeners can experience a wild and uninhibited performance that later recordings of the work simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos Historical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53530743341345,"sku":"4945604110488","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604110488.jpg?v=1789818963","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604110488","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
