Holst- Uranus, the Magician- The Planets Suite
Loading...
Uploaded by recordholdings on Feb 22, 2008
English composer Gustav Holst composed The Planets between 1914 and 1916. The Birmingham premiere of the suite took place in 1918, fifteen years before Pluto was discovered. Though the Planets became by far the most popular work of Holst's and one of the most known pieces by an English-born composer, Holst did not consider the piece one of his finest. Partially because of this, he never wrote an eighth movement, though unexpectedly the IAU relegated Pluto from its status as planet proper in 2006.

@PAPERofROCK I LOVE this! Both the video and your description/interpretation; I agreed wholeheartedly, although Mars was stirring I always associated anger with him, he is definitely the bringer of war, I felt for Venus too as I felt she was sad at his warring ways- Saturn is a grand and wise old sage :) My favourite though was Jupiter- like you it played my heart like a harp, hearing it brought me back to my childhood- its so romantic! n_n

I remember the first time I heard this symphony. I fell in love with it.
Mars made me shiver.
Venus made me cry.
Mercury made me smile.
Jupiter pulled on my heart strings.
Saturn put me to sleep.
Uranus woke me up.
Neptune gave me dreams.
I feel like the symphony was written specifically for me. I love it.
