HOLST: Planets (The) / DELIUS: Over the Hills and Far Away

Visionary, sumptuous, even radical – The Planets is all this. In this astrologically-inspired Suite, Holst pulled out all the stops, merging late Romantic and Impressionistic idioms with the rhythmic energy of Stravinsky. The result is an orchestral masterpiece of cosmic scale.
