Holst: The Planets & Bax: Tintagel

A Cosmic Orchestral Journey From Planetary Power To Mythic Seascapes.

Edit Master Sourced

Artists Antonio Pappano (conductor), Antonio Pappano, London Symphony Orchestra

€29,99 EUR

Tax included.

On this album, the London Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano capture two British masterpieces that continue to astonish and inspire. Available at NativeDSD in Stereo and 5.1 Channel Surround Sound DSD (up to DSD 256), Stereo DSD 512 and Dolby Atmos TrueHD Immersive Audio. Journey through the cosmos with Gustav Holst's beloved Planets suite. From the relentless energy of Mars, the Bringer of War to the jubilant optimism of Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, the work remains one of the most visionary creations of the 20th century. The voyage concludes in mystery with Neptune, the Mystic, featuring the voices of Tenebrae in a wordless, otherworldly chorus. Arnold Bax's Tintagel closes the album with a sweeping portrait of Cornwall's rugged coastline. Inspired by a visit to the legendary castle in 1917, Bax's symphonic poem evokes windswept cliffs, ancient history and mythology in music that surges like the sea itself.

Reviews

Audiophile Audition

Gary Lemco

Sir Antonio Pappano leads a performance of Gustav Holst’s 1914-1917 astrological odyssey The Planets from Barbican Hall, with its superb acoustics.

The characterization of the last movement, “Neptune,” the Mystic,” as a siren-song symbol of veiled unity expresses Holst’s individual credo. “Mars,” which opens the suite, had been conceived prior to WW I, and so illuminates “the stupidity of war,” rather than glorifies it.

The LSO percussion section projects a luminous, hammered vitality throughout. We must surrender to the throes of the snare drum in this score, whose only rival in execution might lie in Ravel’s Bolero. The credit for the high production quality falls to Stephen Johns.

Pappano induces a thrilling sound from his ardent, responsive ensemble, the brass especially exuberant. Even as the ecstatic chords diminish, we sense that Tintagel, in all its Celtic splendor, resides intact, much as Smetana had set the standard for his own “High Castle.” Credit producer Andrew Cornall for the intensities here preserved.
