The Planets: A Film by Ken Russell (1992) LaserDisc LD - Gustav Holst / Eugene Ormandy & The Philadelphia Orchestra - RCA Victor Red Seal - EX

Vintage captivating fusion of classical music and visionary filmmaking: The Planets — A Film by Ken Russell, released on LaserDisc by RCA Victor Red Seal.

Produced as part of the Classic Visions series (Vol. 6), this release pairs Gustav Holst’s iconic orchestral suite The Planets, performed by Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra, with the striking, controversial visual imagery of British director Ken Russell (Tommy, The Music Lovers, Lisztomania). Originally created for London Weekend Television's "The South Bank Show," Russell interprets each astrological movement with a dramatic blend of historical newsreel footage, surreal staging, and provocative art.

This RCA Victor Red Seal / BMG Video release (Catalog # 09026-61183-6) features digital stereo sound and CX noise reduction encoding.
