Title: It's like a miscarriage in my ears
Review: My goodness. What is the LSO thinking? The majesty of The Planets is just ruined by this tinny, over-paced rendition. Some of the already faster paced movements are ok, but the powerful pieces (e.g., Mars and Jupiter) sound absolutely awful in this frantic chaotic tempo playing a register too high. Almost like a high school band with a couple of overzealous trumpets trying to get through it all to get home before supper.I know that Colin Davis likes to make his mark on pieces and somehow "make them his own", but this is rather ridiculous. Playing great music badly, a masterpiece makes not.
