Beat'cha to it, I have maybe 6 versions of Holst's "The Planets". And I love them all.

But they're each done by different musicians. They're not different takes from the same studio sessions.

In jazz it's more common to see multiple recordings of the same song by the same artist. Bill Evans recordings of Autumn Leaves opened up my mind for exploring this.

Young vs old Glen Gould playing the same Bach, for example.
