About this album
A powerful interpretation of Holst’s orchestral suite, this 1971 release pairs the Boston Symphony Orchestra with conductor William Steinberg. The Planets remains one of the defining works of early 20th-century orchestral music, its vivid character pieces for the planets widely admired for their colour, momentum and dramatic impact. Steinberg and the Boston players give the score broad symphonic weight, highlighting both its grandeur and its unsettling force. Long a standard in the concert hall and on record, The Planets helped secure Holst’s reputation beyond Britain and became one of the most enduring examples of programmatic orchestral music.
