"… an audiophile’s dream and a test for your equipment ... this is brilliant, exciting, yet always controlled playing ... the music’s emotional impact is intact. In fact, if anything, at times it is even enhanced in this arrangement ... you need to hear this recording ... this is Want List material for sure."
- Fanfare
"... Fidelio has a winner on their hands. Hats off to everyone involved in this project. Engineer René Laflamme has outdone himself on this one, combining many, often times conflicting attributes that we find in real life but that most engineers have trouble transferring onto our platters, be they analogue or digital ... without doubt the best organ recording I have heard ..."

On this highly-praised recording, Holst's landmark concert work The Planets is expertly arranged for brass and organ by Enrico O. Dastous and performed by Montréal's innovative Buzz Ensemble, joined by organist Mélanie Barney in a perfect sonic blend described as "an audiophile’s dream" by Fanfare.
