Since we're on the topic of covers, there is one glaring exception to the rule. Orchestral music has a depth of sound and emotion that is matched by no other form of auditory expression. There is a reason why the likes of Brahms, Beethoven, and Mozart are known to this day as clear examples of musical genius more than a century after their earthly departure. I have been lucky enough to have performed in symphony orchestras, and to have performed this piece before. Gustav Holst's "The Planets" is probably the most recent of the truly great orchestral suite masterpieces, though Holst himself preferred some of his other works. This particular performance is by the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the wonderfully charismatic Eiji Oue.
Timeless magic.
