Details

Two undisputed masterpieces of the 20th Century English music are presented in this concert. Walton's electrically intense First Symphony has a totally individual approach. With its intricate rhythms and the extrovert splendour of the finale, this musical journey is riveting. The Planets has become celebrated for its sheer innovation and originality. From the thundering war music of Mars to the haunting wordless chorus of Neptune, Holst's The Planets contains some of his most brilliant music.
