It's like going from the fleeting details of the chaos of the gravitational and magnetic forces around giant Jupiter and its many moons ... to stepping out to see the whole Jovian system and its exquisite balance, power, and beauty.
Brilliant music! I've come to love the planets more and more lately, especially the two piano versions, too. This performance is very skillful and decided, starting with a very fast tempo, i like it. I'd love to play this with someone some day. Thanks for sharing!
The second slower section of this piece is such a wonderful melody, love Bathory's use of it on the song Hammerheart, just beautiful and breath taking piece. The Other movements are quite wonderful as well but this was always my favorite one.
+Niv Konstantini I enjoy the orchestral version much more for that particular part. The pianos simply can't achieve the same level of power and awe that orchestras can.
murtaghmorza1 id say the same for the entire suite. It's perfect the way it is. I personally don't enjoy it when somebody tampers with a good piece of music because most of the time it isn't as enjoyable
Murray Chapman you clearly dont understand music composition.. they dont just learn all the instruments to write the song. They write the piano version and then transpose it for the instruments
The rock group Manfred Mann's Earth Band adapted this into a piece called "Joybringer" that was a hit single in the UK. I put that and this really nice version in my "classical and prog" playlist. Thanks for the upload!
It's how Holst originally wrote it. It's common to arrange things for piano, and then expand them to the whole symphony later (which is just what he did).
Can someone make a play along version of this, so we can play it even if we have no partner to play it with? Paul Barton has done this with some duets.
In some ways I actually prefer this to the orchestral version... The piano can be so valiant and mellow like an orchestra, but also can have a crisp that woodwinds, brass and strings can't achieve
It blows my mind that anyone can play crazy stuff like this on piano. Impressive as it is, though, they make the classic mistake of playing Jupiter *way* too fast. Everyone plays Jupiter, Mars, and even often Mercury too fast!
Robert Wolff while I agree that the hymn melody could have been taken a little slower, pianos are not like string instruments or wind instruments. When holding a note, the note does not sustain consistent volume or get louder, it falls in volume. Which means that in orchestral transcriptions, parts like the very beginning where the big first chord comes in, the transcriptions have to be played slightly faster than a band or orchestra would play it because big chords or longer held notes lose volume and there for lose “momentum” in phrases of the music
The problem is that performance practice is actually to make it slower than as. Instructed in the score. Hokst’s own recordings are evidence that it loses none of its power or grandeur played as written.
0:03 What the fish this isn't even the one in piano tiles. This is to fast for me. 2:49 *cries* this is in Piano tiles. It's so beautiful I love it *cries* oh and then further it's not that beautiful.
Is this really played by live by two musicians? If so, too fast, too rushed, nothing savoured. Good energy, but still too rushed. You manage to obscure the melody at bar 6, the 8vb at bar 16.
2:50 always gives me chills.
It actually sounds kinda nice at that speed....

Yea feels like something going through your mind
it feels like a vision of a grand past gone by, full of heroes, triumphs, traditions, hopes and dreams.
This the finest masterpiece.
I had a great time playing "air piano" along with this.
The original incarnation of the planets on two pianos and then orchestrated later.. it’s brilliant to see how it initially began its life
This is the best version of Jupiter of the planets ever, I love it

ARTalive01 Could you say it brings you jollity? (I'll show myself out.)
Bravo, you two! A wonderful-played and passionately-accurate piano duet performance of one of my favourite classical pieces of all time!
2:48... god...
+Niv Konstantini I enjoy the orchestral version much more for that particular part. The pianos simply can't achieve the same level of power and awe that orchestras can.
True.

What do you mean AkwadTypo YT? He wrote the piano version before the orchestral one... It says in the description!
Murray Chapman you clearly dont understand music composition.. they dont just learn all the instruments to write the song. They write the piano version and then transpose it for the instruments
Amazing, this really surpasses the orchestral version, in a way! :)
Fantástica interpretação! Vibrante do começo ao fim!
The rock group Manfred Mann's Earth Band adapted this into a piece called "Joybringer" that was a hit single in the UK. I put that and this really nice version in my "classical and prog" playlist. Thanks for the upload!
So beautiful on piano! Excellent preformance!
Great work! Don't forget that the low Eb at 3:42 comes in on beat 2, not beat one :)
This is really great! They play so fast
Please do the other movements as well ! I'd love to see and hear the piano transcriptions !
Yess!
Such brilliance. :)
The end is SO satisfying.
i want to cry
1:05 oh those running notes...
I hear both LOTR and TES in to movement at 2:50
Any chance of other movements? Like Saturn, Uranus and Neptune as well as Mercury? It would be good to see the reduced score forms of those, too.
król SOBIESKI mercury would sound cool
AkwadTypo YT Mercury would sound repetitive....
Nobienify not really
It's not a reduced score, this is the original version which was orchestrated by Holst later!
I know I am really late, but I think Uranus sounds nice😏
After listening to this beautiful performance ,
I will dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother who deeply loved this masterpiece
5:59 favorite
Nice! Thanks for sharing. :)
What a feat to arrange it in this format!
It's how Holst originally wrote it. It's common to arrange things for piano, and then expand them to the whole symphony later (which is just what he did).
This is so goooood
2:49 the best part
I hear the distinction of the 2 pianos and divided them into 2.
1st Piano: Left Audio Channel
2nd Piano: Right Audio Channel
Can someone make a play along version of this, so we can play it even if we have no partner to play it with? Paul Barton has done this with some duets.
This is my level I try to play this.
Oh my gosh the piano is so beautiful with this.
Sick
can you terraform a piano?
피아노의 신비
오케스트라를 그대로 옮겨왔네.
멋지다ㅎ
전체 솔로버젼은 없는걸까요?
Super cool.
In some ways I actually prefer this to the orchestral version... The piano can be so valiant and mellow like an orchestra, but also can have a crisp that woodwinds, brass and strings can't achieve
Percussive is the word
stevenc no
Яight Aиd Wгоиg yes

Everyone but you. You’re special.
Enlighten me, why is that bad?
Why is this so fast?!!!! I feel robbed.
Poderia fazer isso com o Saturno também ?
Where can u get sheet music for this??
imslp.org
From fte publisher or retailer.
It was nice but if u took it the same tempos as the orchestral version I feel it would've been amazing
Oh.........!
Correct me if i am wrong but does 2:50 sound like three days also from him
Well I don’t have to tell you that anyways?
みんな英語。私は日本人なので、非常に語学習得に有益だと思う。Google翻訳を使って…
I find it more interesting than the orchestral version.
Conan The Barbarian, anyone?
where may I get a good quality audio of these performance?
I'm pretty sure these are synthetic instruments playing
Meaning, it's most likely created using pre recorded notes.
+Rocket Raccoon This is definitely a real recording, it says so under in the description ...
ThaSchwab so it's just low quality? it has almost no emotion behind it
I was lucky enough to see a live performance of Mars for Two Pianos
2:48
Hello give me notes, please
+Ruzanna Exserjyan Sure. Here's an A.
Haha. The music is on IMSLP if you search up the title of the piece online
The melody is played too fast. There is an eroticism implied in the whole piece, expressed beautifully in the melody.
Robert Wolff while I agree that the hymn melody could have been taken a little slower, pianos are not like string instruments or wind instruments.

what is that circular clef?
Same, kinda looks like a bass clef
actually i think it's just a bass clef
Older-style Bass cleff, common in England and the U.S.
Bass ;)
weird bass cleif
A predecessor to the modern one.
0:03 What the fish this isn't even the one in piano tiles. This is to fast for me. 2:49 *cries* this is in Piano tiles. It's so beautiful I love it *cries* oh and then further it's not that beautiful.
In fact IST amazing
It's playing the notes, but not music... Too fast. It's definitely too fast! x0,75 should be nice. This is joy, but with dignity. Don't hurry up!

You manage to obscure the melody at bar 6, the 8vb at bar 16.
Hello, Give me notes.. Please😭
