I've been asked for a recommended recording of The Planets, which Orchestra Kentucky just performed Monday. My favorite recording is by Charles Dutoit and Montreal, available on iTunes.
For now, check out this video of Sir Charles Mackerras, conducting the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra at the 2009 Proms. It's a fun video of Mars, the first movement.
Sadly, Sir Charles passed away in July, while I was in London.
