Holst The Planets 180g LP (Vinyl)

Iconic Classical Composition on 180g Vinyl LP!

William Steinberg conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra for this recording of Holst's The Planets.

Vladimir Horowitz’s legendary 1986 recital in Moscow was the then 81-year-old pianist’s first recital in Russia since he left the Soviet Union 61 years before – it was an immense success, as was Deutsche Grammophon’s ‘live’ recording of the concert. The recording is now available again on 180-gram vinyl, including a 4-page insert with all liner notes and photos from the original release. The acclaimed performance, and CBS’ TV Broadcast revitalized Horowitz’ career and made him, again, a household name.
