Gustav Holst - Holst: The Planets - Import CD

Gustav Holst

Description:

Holst's "The Planets" depicts the endless dreams and romance of the macrocosm by comparing the seven stars of the solar system to the gods of Greek mythology. Karajan made the first recording of this work in the early 1960s, when it had not yet achieved the popularity it has today, and made its true value widely known to the world. This digital recording, made more than 20 years later, perfectly reproduces the extremely dynamic performance with its powerful, majestic sound and brilliant, colorful sound. Universal Music
