American Record Guide Reviews Kansas City Symphony’s New Holst Recording

The Kansas City Symphony and Michael Stern’s Holst: The Planets; The Perfect Fool gets a great review in the March/April 2020 issue of American Record Guide:

“This wonderful recording sounds better and better the more you increase the volume; and somehow, that glorious sound includes both great detail and great space. We seem to be hovering just above music director Michael Stern, so individual instruments are heard vividly, and yet we never seem too close. … Much as I enjoy the gigantic fortissimos, the quiet portions are just as enjoyable. I am more aware of details than in other accounts. … It’s worth hearing and rehearing. … superb.”
