I can't remember why I never acquired the DVD-Audio incarnation of it so I could hear it in quad. (BTW, I see that some folks date the original release at 1974, rather than 1971 - not that that's a big difference.)
Steinberg made a number of late 60s early 70s recordings with the BSO that in retrospect seem like classics, including this Planets. It isn't necessarily the best sounding recording of the Planets (there is a European company that has released it on a 180 gram vinyl and a 15 ips tape using what they say are the original master tapes that I would love to hear). The Mehta recording is better sounding, but is a far lesser interpretation, IMO.
Steinberg's illness while music director of the BSO led to the opportunity for MTT to perform and record.
