William Steinberg's famous readings of Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra and Holst's The Planets newly remastered at 24-bit/192kHz.

1 Blu-ray Audio disc (new quadrophonic remastering) + 1 CD (new stereo remastering) in DigiPack format.

These recordings remain mementos of Steinberg's brief tenure as the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Music Director (1969-1972) - cut all too short due to ailing health - and are of the first rank both musically and technically.

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first performance of "The Planets".

Includes booklet notes (E, D) on Steinberg and the BSO and an essay on quadrophonic recording.
