[chemislife]

Minerva is mine is there a peice for her?

havent found one yet

the peice is good though^^

[Darkreep]

Minerva/Athena/Pallas. Pallas is an asteroid, but I don't believe Gustav wrote a song about it. :(

[Darkreep]

Jupiter is my patron god.. I believe this just might be my favorite song.

[marmalada36]

thisis my favourite holst music - did a dance with a boy at schooln :):)

[fuzzball516]

I dont know why but man this song makes me feel so empowered yet so emotionally dry at the same time....brings tears to my eyes how good this is.

[tr1ni7y]

oh .... i almost started to cry too....it is amazing....and at some places it is so....light (as the opposite of heavy) i love it1

just gotta say guys, it's unusual how the comments posted on classical music videos appear to be much more moderated and reasonable. It suggests something about the people listening to, enjoying and playing this music. I walked out of my school in year 12 to this song in our hall, it was magical. brilliant stuff.

[king2102b]

Absolutley agree, I've been a classical musician for years and you know the people who come and watch performances or listen, seem to be much gentler mature people.

I don't know why people feel the need to shout and swear and abuse on sites like this. Maybe it is personal inadaquacies.

Have played this peice for years and it is one of the most powerful works written in my opinion.. Never fails to stir the soul!

[Prodigy502]

Haha Gustav Holst and Duke Ellington are my favorite all-time composers and they do completely different types of music

[VivaLaTrumpet]

Oh my gosh! My favorite all-time composers are Duke Ellington, and then Tchaikovsky. 

But Russian composers are just so amazing. My favorite composers of classical music.

[Prodigy502]

what a weird coincidence!

[929Hunter]

very nice blend of music

[FredsBands]

For concert band he composed the First and Second Suites and Hammersmith. For brass band he composed A Moorside Suite. Holst composed for many types of ensembles, as well as several operas. Much of his music was not well received but his Planets (it is not a suite but a complete work) was well liked then. The Planets was influenced by his interest in astrology, not astronomy, hence the meanings given to the movements.

This song makes me feel like exploring the unknown. Going to the wild, finding new things and seeing the world from the top!

[ilikemlong]

What orchestra is this? Anyone know?

[BWFSabian]

It's not Japs, I know that much because they are clap..

[BrikkaJael]

It could be Montreal because I know that out of all the recordings of the planets their's was the highest rated.

[TheWickedNorth]

You're right.. it's Montreal..

[fauxsham]

Personally I think that the finest recording of the Planets Suite was the LSO conducted by Sir Adrian Boult in 1979, no other recording I have heard comes near it, but thats a personal opinion, which I suppose is what music is all about

[azore64]

Thank you The Wicked North, loved the Holst music.
