HOLST, G.: Planets (The) / The Mystic Trumpeter (Royal Scottish National Orchestra, D. Lloyd-Jones) (SACD)
Holst achieved the first real success of his career with The Planets, which received its first public performance in 1919. It is a remarkably effective work, brilliantly scored for the orchestra, with the character of each of the seven movements suggested by the astrological properties given to the various planets of the solar system.
