Gustav Holst's Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity

The Planets Op. 32 is a seven-movement orchestral suite by the British composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916. The Planets is the most-performed composition by an English composer. Its first complete public performance occurred during World War I on 10 October 1918 in Birmingham, with Appleby Matthews conducting. However, an earlier invitation-only premiere was held on 29 September 1918 in the Queen's Hall in London, conducted by Adrian Boult.

How is it that 'the planets' has not been sifted before??

Shame, sifters! SHAME!!!

Jupiter is my favorite piece out of The Planets. And although this orchestra has good coordination and precision, somehow I feel that they lack in volume and resonance.

These Japanese people don't have enough air in their lungs or something... The wind section was bothering the hell out of me the entire clip. You're suppose to portrait the grand mass of the Jupiter, gotta make it BIG, and LOUD, and make it RESONATE.

They keep shortening out after each high dynamic peaks.

I agree with you, lacking a little oomph there. The mediocre quality of flash videos might have something to do with it. But the wind section definitely has some responsibility as well.
