The Planets

Album by Gustav Holst & Leopold Stokowski & Los Angeles Philharmonic

The Planets is an orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, composed between 1914 and 1916 and first performed in 1918. Scored for a large orchestra and characterised by vivid orchestral colours, strong rhythmic drive and an expanded harmonic language rooted in late-Romantic and early modern techniques, the suite represents a major work in Holst's output and occupies an important place in early 20th-century orchestral repertoire.
