The Planets
Album by Gustav Holst & Toronto Symphony Orchestra & Sir Andrew Davis
The Planets is an orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, completed in 1916. The work employs expansive orchestration, distinctive instrumental colour and driving rhythmic motifs to create programme-based characterisations, and it occupies a central place in Holst's output and in early 20th-century British orchestral repertoire.
