Now I have dealt by comparing listening intensively with the question of whether William Steinberg with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Herbert von Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic (ASIN: B000001GJW The planet Op.32) for the planets of Holst is my favorite. Not in spite of a beautiful and authentic recording in my short list, like so many other recordings also (eg Charles -: By the way, came Herbert von Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic (The Planets / Don Juan Op.20 B000KQGOA4 The Originals ASIN). Mackerras with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Zubin Mehta with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra). I chose Steinberg because me when listening to just the musical representation of the planet appeared much more accurate without comparison, as it was with Karajan with the Berlin of the case. How is presented planet and its manifestation? This creates Steinberg clearly better for me. From the charm of the musical realization by Karajan I can also be done, but it bothers me that striking and completely slower pace, which also manufactures well his own fascination. Slowly, however, the planets are probably not ... You do not seem like an extensive Legato. Random thus cleared up the question as to whether Steinberg is now too fast. No, I think, with him it fits the content of the musical narrative very well, he makes it just about right with the Bostonern.
There remains the question of whether Steinberg's recording of Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, who was born in Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen died, which is better. This recording, there is also an older CD release without the 24-bit, 96 kHz original Image bit Processing the DGG (ASIN: B00000E4CZ Zarathustra / Don Juan / Till Eul.). Or is here Karajan with the Berlin better (ASIN: B000001GQT The Originals - Richard Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra)? That can not be said so easily. The dance song brings Karajan anyway cheerful, fresh and lively, while it interprets Steinberg as a rather fidelndes, whiny melting Schrammel-song wine taverns or village festival. Here I do not know if I would not forgive my favorites place at the Salzburg Karajan with the Berlin. The question arises only as a second-rate, because the CD contains Steinberg's interpretation of the same. Who wants to have Gustav Holst planets of Steinberg, who could be required to think for Zarathustra by Richard Strauss on the additional purchase of Karajan's interpretation. Bad but not Steinberg recording. The difference is very clear even at night converter song. The Boston playing very clear, direct, forceful, clear on the other hand affects the Berlin rather on the mood of Zarathustra-symphonic poem (after the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche), just thoughtful.
