The Planets

~ Release by Holst; Wiener Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan (see all versions of this release, 6 available)

Annotation

The track listing on this CD incorrectly labels track 4 (should be Jollity, not Joy) and track 5 (should be the bringer of Old Age). It seems to be a cheap modern re-release of the classic 1962 recording.
