This has probably been done a million times before but I was quite interested, having recently bought the Berliner Philharmoniker version.

Which recording do people think is best? I've heard that the Previn & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra version is supposed to be excellent...

PS IMHO Jupiter is just the most beautiful piece of music...!

Listening to, and, indeed, playing Mars was really boring, in my opinion. Jupiter is much better!

Mind you, the string part of Mars is the most boring thing I can imagine, in my experience.

Venus - wonderful writing for the woodwind section, solo violin and cello (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Off the top of my head, Mars and Jupiter are equally fantastic - but I remember liking Venus too, I just can't remember it properly now! Need to listen again sometime...

Love Jupiter

However, Venus captivates me and I usually drift off to another planet, literally. It really is a most beautiful piece.

As with most of the people who appear to have voted thus far, my choice was between Mars and Jupiter. Went for Jupiter in the end.

I couldn't decide between Jupiter and Mars - Forgot which one I vote for though, probably Mars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't think I've ever heard Venus...

Listening to Uranus, it really does sound fun to play!
