It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Charles Dutoit, Montreal Symphony Planets?

The Telarc version to have is the Paavo Jarvi one with the Cincinnati Orch. This was judged the best version available currently in an almost forensic comparison with the demands of the score against all others by David Owen-Norris last year on BBC Radio 3's " Building a Library" feature. A particularly interesting choice as us Brits are not always enthusiastic about foreign perfomances of our music. I have a copy and it is superb.

I also have the Dutoit but have not yet played it (it being part of a huge box set of Dutoit's recording career with Decca so I just haven't reached it yet). I will give it an airing tomorrow - local time heading towards 02:00 right now. If it's a clunker I will let you know but I think he is reliably good , it's just that the Jarvi is special.
