Product Description

Immerse yourself in the celestial symphony of Gustav Holst's "Lord of the Proms, Vol. 6: Holst," a captivating orchestral journey through the cosmos. Released on June 1, 2014, under the Documents label, this classical masterpiece spans a concise yet powerful 46 minutes, offering a unique musical exploration of the planets.

Holst's "The Planets" suite is a cornerstone of classical music, and this album presents it in its entirety. Each movement is dedicated to a different planet, each with its own distinct character and mood.
