A Child of Our Time by Michael Tippett, Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Chorus, London Symphony Orchestra, released in 2008 on LSO Live.

A Child of Our Time is a secular oratorio by the British composer Michael Tippett, who also wrote the libretto. Composed between 1939 and 1941, it was first performed at the Adelphi Theatre, London, on 19 March 1944. The work was inspired by events that profoundly affected Tippett: the assassination of a German diplomat by a young Jewish refugee in 1938, and the Nazi government's reaction to the assassination which was in the form of a violent pogrom against Germany's Jewish population: Kristallnacht. Tippett's oratorio deals with these incidents in the context of the experiences of all oppressed people, and it carries a strongly pacifistic message of ultimate understanding and reconciliation. - Wikipedia

This is splendid. It sounds almost identical to my favourite recording of Jupiter by The Berlin Philharmonic & Herbert von Karajan.

Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano conducts the London Symphony Orchestra playing the fourth movement of Gustav Holst's The Planets: 'Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity'. Recorded on 12 September 2024 at the Barbican Centre.
