I have Holst/The Planets by DG (Karajan) very good music but not so good sound (early digital recording) Any suggestion for the best sound of The Planets ?

Years ago on public radio / on Sat.am / they would select a composition-- they would start out with 5 or so versions. They would play say 3-4 mins. of the first movement by each conductor; drop one version off and explain the differences for each. Then move on to the next movement and do likewise. It was the best of times back then and I miss that show. Guess who always lost out for going to slow for the slow movement and to fast for the fast movements?? (Lenny and Herbie.) Lenny was always good for Mahler esp. w/ the NY PO.
