Product description

Embark on a celestial adventure with Gustav Holst's iconic masterpiece, The Planets, expertly conducted by Daniele Rustioni. This captivating album, released on 18 September 2024, is a testament to the composer's innovative spirit and features the renowned Salisbury Cathedral as its label.

The Planets, Op. 32, is a seven-movement suite that whisks listeners away on an epic interstellar journey, showcasing the unique characteristics of each planet. From the ferocity of "Mars, the Bringer of War" to the ghostly suspense of "Neptune, the Mystic", and the high-spirited "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity", each movement is a masterclass in evocative storytelling. The album also features the serene "Venus, the Bringer of Peace", the swift "Mercury, the Winged Messenger", the poignant "Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age", and the enchanting "Uranus, the Magician".

With its rich, orchestral soundscapes and sublime musicality, The Planets has inspired generations of composers, including those behind the iconic soundtracks of science fiction films such as Star Wars. This album is a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and anyone looking to experience the magic of Holst's cosmic score. Under the skilled baton of Daniele Rustioni, the orchestra brings this beloved work to life, creating a truly unforgettable listening experience that will leave you spellbound.

This LP was released in 1987.
