Half-way and spellbound by this performance and photography...thank you from Suva, Fiji
I've heard "The Planets" many times and this is one of the best recordings I've heard. Wolff gives each planet its due. Yes, his take on "Mars" is assured, but his attention to detail with "Venus", "Jupiter" and "Neptune" mean he has given us a "Planets" for the ages. Bravo!
And in 4K!
It's one terrific performance, truly.
My Grandfather introduced me to this great work and Classical Music in general when I was around 10 years old by playing me this recording on an old reel to reel tape on his home stereo. The tape had a splice half way through Mars and I still remember the place. I was captivated by the recording and have been a lifelong listener and supporter of classical music. This is one of the great works and this performance is one of the best I have ever heard. Wolff lets each movement develop as it should and the performance is phenomenal.
Is it just me or is the recording quality here pretty fantastic? I don't usually hear this kind of sound in a live orchestral recording.
Really fantastic
I was an Audio Video Tech in School but now in my old age with bad hearing I'd say some of he best Audio Quality that I've ever heard on youtube. thanks for your comment and enjoy
HR Sinfonieorchester recordings are always fantastic @@TBI-Firefighter-451
Funny--yes--it does sound suspiciously studio recorded, then overdubbed...
@@BLUEPLANETJAZZthe frankfurt radio symphony is one of the best orchestras in the world and they have some very experienced sound engineers. also they do youtube for a very long time. so what you hear here is pure skill and knowledge how to make it sound right. your claim that this is staged is an insult to these artists
I lived in Frankfurt and went to the Alte Oper many times. This is my heartfelt orchestra. They play so well, they move with emotion. It deserves a place among the great ones. And Hugh Wolff was always an underrated conductor. A wonderful piece to hear and see.😊
He spent a lot of time making Minnesota Orchestra amazing.
@@charlescornner And before that, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. He's also a very generous person.
I hear so many different things when listening to this. Obviously many composers took inspiration from this suite. I can make out themes from Star Wars, Legend of Zelda, I hear some things that resemble works by Joe Hisaishi from Studio Ghibli, Nobuo Uematsu for Final Fantasy and so many others. This suite is about 50 minutes long but it's packed to the brim with awesomeness.
The influence this single opus had on modern movie soundtracks cannot be overstated. Zimmer, Williams, Goldsmith, and Horner all borrowed at least a line or two from these songs.
@@revolead
And it seems many principles from those laid out by this suite.
@@revolead Elmer Bernstein just about stole part of "Mars" in the rowing sequence. Imitate the best to be the best. :)
can't believe no one is talking about the TUBA playing in this group, particularly in mars! unsure of who this tubist is in particular, but playing over the whole orchestra with a single tubist is astonishing. BRAVO
The tubist is very good, but remember that the baritone is with him on many of those notes you hear "playing over the whole orchestra." Prost!🍺
@@Eric-hf9zb In this work, Holst calls for a "Tenor Tuba in Bb" which in this context is a Euphonium not a baritone. While closely related a Euphonium has much more conical tubing than a true baritone. In this performance they are using a Euphonium.
@@esiotrot1018True fact, I play the baritone and the euphonium. Any musician of one can play the other, but there's still a difference.
After looking on their website the tubist looks to be Ole Heiland.
A lifelong Music-lover in my mid-sixties here so have heard this many many times. THIS performance was the proverbial hearing it for the first time. Love you all.
36:00 the conclusion of Saturn is breathtaking
Magnificent!
I've never hear Neptune played with a chorus before. Definitely added to the mystical feeling
My favourite orchestra ever, did it again. BRAVO Maestro Wolff!
Neptune is my absolute favourite! Especially the part with the choir is just magic.
war beim Konzert am 09.02.23 in der alten Oper, war klasse 👍
Comfort is the essence of all of music
This wonderful and skilful and graceful performance evokes comfortable feelings and will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul
Wow - just listened to their Mars - powerful!! Combination of brilliant musicianship, bravura and camera work make this such moving experience - world class! Bravissimo!!
Been waiting for a recording of this work from this orchestra for a while now and this certainly does not disappoint, incredible work as always
We can all agree that the intro to neptune is amazing...
Great recording as always with this orchestra and conductor.
I don't think I've ever heard a run up to the final chords of Mars (6:59 - 7:08) as clear and clean as this one.
I was there that evening with my father, who first introduced me two years ago to Holst. It was wonderful to finally hear it live. The only thing that bothered us, was that they played Saturn from the beginning too slow (as a lot of other recordings). But besides that it was absolutely magnificent, also the first hour when they started with Icarus and Carolin Widmann . One day have that night again.
Really? In my opinion Saturn is even a bit too quickly
@@THyperon I agree. It seems a tad too fast to me.
Gevoelvol en glashelder gespeeld door mijn favoriete orkest!
I have heard this piece, in particular Mars, many, many times. And unsurprisingly FRS does far greater than simple justice to the work. Coming back to Mars, however ... I have never heard it played in such a way that took hold of my imagination and emotions so. My sincerest thanks to *EVERYONE* involved in the creation of this performance.
My dearest orchestra ❤
The timpani duet at 27:10 was fascinating to watch. When my orchestra played this, we only had one timpani set. I had to tune each note between every strike of the mallet! Clearly, this lick was supposed to be split between two percussionists.
I love the happy expresion on the faces of grandmas while brass section is on full blast 😆
This is absolutely gorgeous... I've learned by now that everything from hr-Sinfonieorchester is. 🤭23:00 took my breath, though. It's a big wish of mine to see this orchestra perform in real life.
I ADMIRE SO MUCH ANYONE WHO IS SUCH AN EXPERT ENSEMBLE TECHNICIAN AS TO BE ABLE TO BRING TO LIFE THIS ENORMOUS SCORE, WITH SUCH EXCELLENTLY BEAUTIFUL SOUND, AND---- WITH SUCH, GREAT TASTE!!!!
BRAVISSIMO, MAESTRO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU, TO ALL INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION !!!!
THANK YOU, GUSTAV HOLST !!!!
THANK YOU, YOU TUBE !!!!
Vor allem den letzten Satz finde ich ab dem letzten Drittel echt atemberaubend schön - wunderbar orchestriert und ausgeführt. TOP!
The best interpretation of Holst’s Planets ever! Stunning performance!
Everything from this orchestra and concert hall is fantastic.
Absolutely true!
Just outstanding, amazing videography and sound, a fine, fine service to not only this piece but all of the music uploaded.
One of my most favorite classic work ever!
Such an astonishing, exciting, and unique performance! I've heard this pieces many times, and even played excerpts from it during high school, and this interpretation really breathes new life into it. I was struck by the last chord of "Mars", for example - I've never heard it so short! It sounded so shockingly definitive, cruel, without any sentimentality - just like war. And the beginning of "Uranus" - this piece has never stood out to me before; usually folks listen for Mars and Jupiter, and forget the rest. But I loved what the orchestra did here with Uranus; those opening chords were so connected and phrased so well!
The other movements are interesting too. «Venus» is deliciously orchestrated, «Mercury» has its quirky moments and the climax in «Saturn», when the death knells suddenly ring, is absolutely shocking, the coda instead very peaceful. Finally, «Neptune» is harmonically really strange.
Wonderfully stated
Entirely agree
Thank you

Eine in ihren leisen Stellen subtile, raffinierte und ihren lauten Stellen gewaltig kraftvolle Aufführung, die von der Spielfreude aller Beteiligten getragen wird. Herzlichen Dank für den Upload!
Genau meine Gedanken, als ich die Aufführung hier hörte. Ich suche seit längerem eine adäquate Orchesteraufnahme eines kleinen Teils von Gustav Holsts Planeten für ein Filmprojekt. Ich habe mir Dutzende Aufnahmen von den größten Orchestern der Welt angehört. Ja, überwiegend gut, technisch okay. Aber als ich gerade auf diese Aufnahme gestoßen bin, liefen meine Tränen. Das ist es! Jetzt fühle ich die Musik...
Als Soundtrack für die Astro Saga?
@@mkdams1 Nein! Die braucht noch etwas Geduld...
@@nikolaus1691 Das Gustav Theodore Holst, geboren in Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, ein deutscher Komponist war, darf angezweifelt werden.
Tatsächlich hatte Holst baltisch-deutsche Vorfahren, er war aber ganz klar Brite.
@@quuaaarrrk8056 Danke. Irrtum erkannt😲, Kommentar gelöscht 😇.
@22:00 i know that trumpet was so mad that they missed that note
What a band, what a horn section! That Alex 103 sound... There is nothing quite like it.
How beautiful this music is!
Visionary Holst
Oh my godness! Jupiter is insanely magnificent masterpiece!!!
Stunning performance, superbly conducted and beautifully filmed and produced. Congratulations to everyone involved.
29:21 baritone oboe in its full glory!
46:13 The sound of the celesta moves me more than any other instrument, especially in this kind of music, magical and mystical.
Was just remarking the other day about how there are so few good recording of The Planets on TH-cam. Problem solved. Thank you!
This is not a bad version by any means but there are better ones IMHO, even here on TH-cam. This interpretation lacks a bit of energy and dare I say passion. Here are a couple of (IMO) better ones: Andrew Manze - NDR Radiophilharmonie
th-cam.com/video/8mJQliEacCI/w-d-xo.html
Conrad Van Alphen - Rotterdam Simfonia

The greatest recording of The Planets ever (according to many music lovers and little me) is Karajan's 1961 version with the Wiener Philharmoniker (not to be confused with his version with the Berliner Philharmoniker). It was fairly recently remastered and is superb! Happily, it's now on TH-cam: just type in Gustav Holst - The Planets, Op. 36 / REMASTERED (Ct.rc.: Herbert von Karajan, Wiener Philharmoniker). Enjoy!
@@SvetlanaVladimirova8590 obviously we all have different tastes but IMO that Karajan version is just not very good. I have the remastered CD and of the 20e-ish versions I have it’s probably the least listened to, expect from the dreadful Hickok. There are so many better recordings such as Vernon Handley and the absolutely stunning Steinberg / Boston SO. IMO the Karajan is overrated as is the Dutoit. Just my opinion of course, YMMV, happily we all have different tastes 🙂
@@fyvewytches Thanks for replying, Ian. Yes, we all have different tastes - just letting you and anyone else who reads my comment of a recording held in high regard. Take care and happy listening!
Never heard it played better. Wonderful.
So many amazing themes
Neptune - those ethereal voices literally transport you to another world
Neptune the Mystic has always been my favourite of the planets.
Wow. A captivating performance. Absolutely amazing.
Great performance. The sound quality is so good.
Listening to this renowned composition, where the unmistakable airs of British imperial self-assuredness pervade, conducted by an American maestro and performed by a German orchestra, elicits a certain sense of delight.
I am very much a fan of all the Planetens
Love this performance and crystal clear recording. One little nit pick, Trumpet at 22:02. What happened?
What a stunning performance! This orchestra is absolutely the best! Will listen again and again. Thank you! FRS.
This is a perfect performance. Untouchable in every aspect. And great audio/video as usual from this channel. Thank you for posting these concerts.
FANTASTICO, MARAVILLOSO! Excelente obra, mágica e ingeniosa. Siempre la escucho. Excelente orquesta y director.
What a wonderfully lively performance! Thank you
Powerful! One of the best I've ever heard. Bravo hr-Sinfonieorchester!
Well done
What an outstanding performance. I have listened to several orchestras here on TH-cam doing this piece, all of which were great. When I saw this was posted I thought I would listen to just the opening to see how this compared. I ended up watching the entire performance with a fair share of goose bumps and awe. As a side note... Every time I hear the Uranus movement I can't help (credit to Dukas and Disney) but imagine Mickey Mouse trying to control the mops and their sloshing buckets of water marching to the beat of a different sorcerer, Gustav Holst!
Absolutely stunning performance!
Most beautiful performance of this work that I have ever heard!
Talking about orchestral music in general, I find it hard to understand how a composer can 'orchestrate' so many elements. It's like an alien language to me: How does everyone know the precise timings? They are so subtle. If it's down to the conductor I don't understand that language either. Blows my mind.
I guess that is what makes it so incredible. When you can't work out how something is done, it feels amazing. That is what it's all about, for me. It makes me feel like there's a reason to be alive. Or a reason to enjoy being alive at least: that we are not all just animals. There are people who can express beauty in a way that transcends normal animal behaviour. And in a way we can understand.
BRAVO!!! Grande la Orquesta, y magnifico el Director. 🍀😆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏅
Very good performance of a magical work. I wish the fadeout of the offstage chorus had been stretched out a bit longer with a more gradual diminuendo, but otherwise this was really excellent.
50:10 that lady in the audience thought the choir was coming straight from heaven.
Brano bellissimo, esecuzione eccezionale ❤️
Damn these people are good.
Euphonium power!
Splendid performance by the Orchestra and Hugh Wolf who I take my hat off to not least because I was a fiddler in the Bilbao Symphony in 1984 when he conducted Dvorjak Cello concerto with Rostropovich. We had lunch together. That's my 5 mins of fame . He is a talented pianist and was deputy conductor of the Seattle I think it was.
I watched Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2019 (on TH-cam) and I fell in love with his style of conducting
@@julia_btfl who was playing the fiddle?
@@NicholasWarnertheFirst His name is Timothy Chooi
Fantastic.
I think, this is the best recording of the "Planets"
Mais quelle chef d’œuvre de Mr Horst
L’influence germanique mise en exergue par cet immense orchestre
Debussy et La Mer reviennent à l’esprit …
Many versions ive heard of The Planets, this version is by far the best . Really a flawless performance end to end. all the emotion and power comes out ,when done right...This could be the most enjoyable video on TH-cam...The Planets is in the top 5 of anything ever written,IMO...and yet, ive been a punk rocker since 1976, still am...love GWAR still...even some old rap...life is pretty great..I'll watch this video many times, im sure..so very enjoyable, Thank You
love me some good old hr-sinfonieorchester on a Saturday morning
This is pure epic 4:34!
This is one of the finest live recordings (or recordings, period) of The Planets I've ever heard! If Maestro Wolff ever tours near me, I'll have to go!
Come to Boston! He just gave a free concert tonight
@@chenzhejunhu8352 Sadly, I live far away from Boston. 😩😩 I'll have to see if he comes to Cincinnati, Louisville, Columbus, or Indianapolis
Omg I literally jumped with excitement to see this post! Fantastic work, as ALWAYS!
This orchestra always comes up trumps. Love to hear them live! This has to be the absolute best recording of Holst's wonderful work. Absolutely adore last movement - when choir comes in always gives me goosebumps!
Wunderschöne!
Danke danke danke es mussssste sein ihr seid großartig💪🏻💙💙💙
Good video and audio~~ Well filmed and recorded~~!
Wonderful, wonderful performance. I still have goosebumps! 🙂
Simply superb.
The performance is flawless and the video producton uncomparable. Don't miss!
Having listened to this excellent performance, I understood that Holst's Planets is a wonderful masterpiece.
BassTrombone Nice❤
This orchestra amazes me every single time....100% quality!
Fantastic and moving performance! Great!
7:22 The conductor 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm well-impressed! Very well played and interpreted. JAT
Absolutely incredible. I went on a journey!
Watch this in awe of the musicians playing, and then listen again to the performance without visuals.
One of the best interpretations of this work I've ever heard! Fantastic!
Great performance!! Middle of Jupiter was beautifully played.
I love the way the audience members pointing here and there when the wordless chorus came, trying to find out their location. I wish it was their first time experiencing this moment.
Supper Play ! Thanks . Conductor & Players looks enjoying to play.
Great piece.
Never were the composers so free to use whatever material, techniques and inspiration from so many sources!
A composer to follow, as much as my revered Paweł Szymański.
Fabulous ! Bravo !
Beautiful, so peaceful
An out of this world performance!!
Powerful and Elegant!
Wir waren dabei - es war ein sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis mit herausragender Klangfülle und Präzision!
I enjoyed it very much I was studying to it.
with things like that the GEZ don´t feel wasted.
3/4 des GEZ gehen leider für Produktionen der ARD aus, wovon die Hälfte nur aus Serien wie der Lindenstraße und schlechten Krimis besteht. Aber Teile wie Funk und unsere Radios und Orchester sind wirklich wichtig, um unsere Kultur und Geschichte aufrecht zu erhalten
