The Planets

Album by Gustav Holst

The Planets is a seven-movement orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, completed in 1916. The suite uses expansive orchestral forces, distinctive modal and chromatic harmonies and striking percussion and wind colour to evoke a series of planetary portrayals, and it marked a pivotal moment in Holst's career that influenced later orchestral and film scoring practice.
First released: 8th March 2023
