Inspired not by astronomy, but astrology, Holst’s vast suite depicting the character of each planet are truly something to behold. The breadth of style and shape from planet to planet in conjuring a vast cosmic impression can only be described as a masterpiece. Accompanied by evocative and otherworldly soundscapes, one cannot help but reflect on the immense universe around us.
