The Planets / Suite de Ballet, op. 10

Album by Gustav Holst & Symfonický orchester Slovenského rozhlasu & Adrian Leaper

The Planets and the Suite de Ballet, Op. 10 are orchestral works by English composer Gustav Holst, with The Planets completed in 1916. The Planets uses contrasting orchestral colours and driving rhythms to portray astrological character sketches, while the Suite de Ballet offers lighter, dance-derived material that sits earlier in Holst's career and shows his interest in concise instrumental forms.
