I wanted to like this piece, I really did, especially because Kent Nagano is my favorite conductor and he comissioned this piece, but I find that the louder parts are more of a cacophony than anything else. The soft parts are beautiful though, and tie in well with the Holst suite, but the rest... seriously? Someone listened to too much early Pink Floyd.

4:02 ... Seriously?!

The first image is just a recolored Ganymede. FAIL.

I have to say I do consider this worthy of being included in the full planets suite, obviously ignoring the fact it wasn't written by Holst and that Pluto isn't technically a planet anymore, it just fits in with the others and is an impressive tribute to the style and majesty of Holst's suite, it has a personality of mystery and a character that none of the other planets have. The ending is a bit of a disappointment though but perhaps it wasn't intended to be the last piece in the revised suite.

"The Planets" did not originally include Pluto, and Holst did not write a movement for it when it was discovered in 1930. So although science (at the time) said that there was another planet, "The Planets" is a purely musical work, not bound by the laws of nature. This is an excellent piece, however.

This one should be before neptune if played in the planets suite. fuckign badass

I don't get it... I really liked it! It sounds even more mystic and far away than Holst neptun and bit less pompous than the other planets. Doesn't sound like Holst, yes, but not a bad pluto, I think.

If you ask me, I didn't feel very renewed after watching this...

The Pluto for Planethood sign was really funny!
I think the whole declassification of Pluto as a Planet was just an excuse to not have to play this piece...

I have a feeling that If this exact piece was done by Holst, no one would look down upon it as not being as good as the rest.
