John Wilson conductor |
Since its premiere during the First World War, The Planets has become one of the all-time classics of British music – even making it to TV theme status! But if you’ve only heard the famous bits, you only know half the story. The Planets isn't just about great tunes like Jupiter and Mars; it's a tremendous musical odyssey towards the infinite, written for a super-size orchestra and filled with sounds of jaw-dropping strangeness and beauty.
Classic Intro 6.15pm
Laura Kinnear discusses Gustav Holst
Laura is curator of the Holst Birthplace Museum in Cheltenham.
