Intro of 2006 concerts??

[Anonymous]

Does anybody know the name of the song used by Maiden as intro in the 2006 AMOLAD tour?
It's a classical music track but I've never heard it before.

Thanx

"Mars, The Bringer Of War" from Holtz's piece "The Planets"

You beat me to it, Albie. Anyway, livingdead, I recommend you not only look into that specific movement from The Planets, but also others such as Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity. Excellent stuff that.

"Mars, The Bringer Of War" from Holtz's piece "The Planets"

Would that be the same as 'Mars, The Bringer of War' from Gustav Holst's The Planets suite?

Interestingly, I've seen quite a few re-editions of his Planets with the later composition (by another composer) of Pluto (ironically, not even a planet anymore), and other pieces including 'Ceres' and 'The Asteroid Belt'.  Has anyone heard any of these to have an opinion of them?

Wow I'd love to hear those newer pieces

"Neptune" is my fave from "The Planets". "The Mystic", indeed...

Ah the Planets... good stuff, in fact thank you guys, becuase of this thread I actually looked for, found and currently listening to the recording done by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by James Levine
