HOLST The Planets

[@yehyunhong2910]

The two dislikes are from people who live on Pluto

[@XiangxiMeng]

Inspired by your comment, there came the third plutonian.

[@cabbagedpolska]

Ayo we barely got any service out here the least yall could do is include us in the suite💀

[@frederickkwek3772]

I'm very impressed with the sound recording.....well done to whoever that recorded it. Its not easy to get a sound mix. Keep up the great work. Oh, I think you should get a pay rise. Show this comment to your Boss. :)))

[@singaporesymphony]

Thank you for your kind words! We will screenshot, print and make many copies of your comment!... 😅

[@eugenegorelikov9378]

I watched a lot of Holst's concerts on youtube. Those conducted by Mr. Litton are the best. He really understood this music: the tempo, power and tenderness of some moments are amazing. My virtual standing ovations to the conductor, orchestra and the video production team.

[@tycoongenius5191]

*Those conducted by Mr. Litton are the best.

[@JudgeDredd_]

I mean this is just a masterpiece performance from beginning to end. How beautiful is Neptune? This is best performance of The Planets.

[@thomask1424]

A very fine performance, tremendous sound.

[@alexkirkpatrick8351]

I absolutely love how he just stares down the low brass section while pointing his fist at them towards the end of "Mars." There is no question what the conductor wants from them. This is an amazing performance of one of my all time favorite symphonies.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Holst i a modern Alchemist of the universe, generates impression and comfort and surprise and admiration

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This is a masterpiece for earthling

[@zhiwen740]

I just love how the cameramen focus on the instruments that are playing and makes them look just so majestic.

[@PenaltyKillah]

What an act of generosity from Maestro Litton, to offer his tissue to a sneezing audience member :)

[@mooman12]

This performance speaks volumes. It says that our beloved SSO is truly world class. Excellent rendition of Holst, comparable to the best performances anywhere else in the world. Thanks SSO. :)

[@mansainokai]

This concert reminds me of SNYO which played similar theme last year. Love Jupiter the most🤗

[@snyosg]

❤️

[@raydyoo]

Well this comment feed is lively good!

[@jlrlll]

I am a young person listening to this for school, and the face he made in Uranus made my day. But this music is beautiful, and I loved making my art assignments about this.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

The beauty and wonderfulness of the planets is immeasurable, and unfathomable, and beyond description

[@highlight_photography]

Recall my first audio cassette was Holst: The Planets plus the Star Wars theme. Now I’ve many copies of the Holst classic and it’s always uplifting to listen to. With this let’s praise all the hard working health workers who are saving lives, making those ill more comfortable on their road to recovery whilst working themselves to the bone. World wide they are the hero’s of 2020

[@singaporesymphony]

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra dedicates this concert to all healthcare workers in Singapore - thank you for your care in these trying times!

[@cleofedelfino5565]

They are faithful to their oaths

The power, poignancy and shimmering lyricism made this a magical performance. I didn't want to come back to earth when it finished.Thank you, Singapore Symphony Orchestra.

[@majajackson777]

I will never get tired of listening to The Planets. Thanks so much for making it available for all of us to enjoy. ❤️

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Comfort of this masterpiece is off the charts

[@JudgeDredd_]

I love this conductor's energy!!! He about had me ready to go to war for him!!!

[@patriciahinkin9159]

Wow wow, I want to see this played live

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This is comfortable to the ear, to the mind, and to the soul

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

Sometimes during Mars and Uranus, the conductor looked like you wouldn't like to meet him in a bad mood down a dark alley! Particularly that punch when the main theme of Mars came back! A most enjoyable performance!

[@alvinchen6262]

The camera work and performance of this piece is amazing!

[@Happysongkla]

オーマンデイ指揮フィラデルフィア管弦楽団の演奏を聴くような感動です。DVDで欲しいくらいの感動です。日本にも来て演奏してください。

[@ronaldwilliams9266]

Mr. Litton and company save the best for last. Neptune was by far the closest knit and best sounding of them all.

[@melaniehenderson2573]

Loved Holst as a Classical composer even before visiting a Planetariam at School.

[@SirJeff]

I was there that day, and watched this performance live. Absolutely breathtaking

[@crockob5786]

The cuts and camera work are phenomenal! Of course the performance as well:)

[@portucale1143-ki1ex]

23:37 There are no words...

[@Trickboy36]

You are right. The only word that comes to mind is sublime. And that isn’t enough.

[@GamerVinsmoke]

I love venus:)

[@nurhabibi922]

I hope that Indonesia have this performance too with local orchestra, Bravo sso🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sindykeng1214]

Amazing Bravo SSO bravo to everyone.. love this. really phenomenal work and such cohesion the instruments just gel with each other, in space! SSO at it best with Andrew Litton and guest artistes

[@herbiecactus6687]

The audience reaction brought tears to my eyes. I wish Chicago Symphony audiences could be bothered to show that kind of appreciation.

[@charlottetiger]

My first time to watch the full performance rather than close my eyes and just listen. The conductor is just amazing! He is like the General of the troop, marching among the planets. Bravo!

[@adriakmelani]

An amazing performance by the SSO. The tempo of each movements are perfect. So much sensitivity to Holst's score in my humble opinion. From the forceful opening till the very end of the suite there is a unique dialogue between the SSO and the conductor. Bravo!

[@thomasrice4078]

Just wonderful! Thank you so much.

[@michaelbraun5217]

Never seen Andrew conduct. I love this guy! And I´m a conductor myself and quite picky. Great performance!

[@peisunaw4629]

What a beautiful performance with good recording, hope to watch your live performance soon

[@shin-i-chikozima]

What did our ancestors who left Africa in the Land of Cradle, think of the glitter of the stars in the infinite night sky？ I can just picture them looking up at the night sky Since then, the stars shining in the infinite night sky have never ceased to attract the interest of mankind

[@jerrera45]

I often wonder if Holst got his inpiration for "Uranus the magician" from Dukas' "Sorcerers Aprentice". Hearing both I can not help but see those mencing mops and Mickey trying in vain to stop them. Anyway, this was a great perfomance of "the Planets". Kudos to all invlvoved in this stunning production.

[@Lalaphive]

They really brought the emotion out of this music.

[@jivamoksha]

Extraordinary and Magnificent Performance of this great masterpiece, Powerful !!!

[@dy6682]

I see where John Williams got his musical training from....GH has inspired a generation or more of film composers, from the Planets.

[@MortenTelling]

Wonderful - I love this symphony and have listened to it for many years in different versions. This version is performed very well! Thank you!

[@StratoArt]

WOW!!! I love Gustav Holst - The Planets, and Andrew Litton and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra truly mastered it so beautifully! Thank you!

[@foodmore]

Wonderful as always ......

I loved how they played Mercury 😍 portrayed the messenger and the playful trickster very well 😄

[@avrombaker205]

Amazing concert

[@funkmonkpunk]

One of the best version I’ve heard! Good job SSO!

[@randyblythefangirl]

i was there, amazing performance and amazing recording!

[@gladysyeong8027]

It sounds so much like the Gladiator soundtrack. I see where Hans Zimmer got his inspiration.

[@plastique45]

Hans Zimmer is a hack. His music is worthless and sounds like royalty-free crap you can buy on audiojungle.

[@audioglass]

And John Williams for Star Wars and Superman. It sounds like John Williams would have consumed this like a staple diet back in his days of youth

[@andrealee3211]

Great performance! Love every bit of it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SirReginaldBlomfield1234]

This really was something special and certainly the best performance of this work I've ever heard.

Планеты Холста, с русским дирежером Евгением Светлановым, одни из лучших !!!!

[@김길동-j9z]

그의 연주는 템포가 너무 느림니다 very slow temporarily

[@MrShovelBottom]

Just wish the Drums were clearer at 40:40 like this version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TMlGWQZ8plrtU Ends up sounding more washed/muffled out than something bombastic, powerful, aggressive, and almost Military like. I just wish this part was more Aggressive and sharper for this recording. Sound Quality for this video is very good, but every planets recording I always check Uranus since a lot of recordings get it wrong. Will listen to the full recording, since I only checked out this and Mars so far.

[@plastique45]

At the very beginning, I thought the applauses were to the rythm of Mars!

[@melissakalloway1916]

I like this conductor. Of all the presentations of this I've watched, his motions and rhythm actually match.

[@patriciahinkin9159]

He must be so happy

[@audreyjohnston6879]

20:09

[@johnries5593]

The more I listen to Mars the more I think the tenor tuba part should really be played on a baritone rather than a euphonium (the narrower bore agrees better with high parts; it's certainly nimbler).

[@nagsicle]

Jupiter is the most beautiful to me tbh, but I enjoyed the whole piece nonetheless

[@philedwards4392]

Where were the singers, in the last movement? Was that a recording, or something?

[@singaporesymphony]

In the final movement, Holst calls for an off-stage women's chorus to sing a wordless line. So the ladies of our Chorus were singing, unseen, from backstage. This creates a faraway sound for "Neptune, The Mystic".

[@johnvaughan7096]

Ah Singapore! Interesting place but why is everyone called Iain?
