Everyone has their favourite bit of Holst's The Planets, whether it's the angry rhythms of Mars, the rapturous calm of Venus, or the sheer majesty of Jupiter. But Holst's masterpiece is a lot more than just great tunes - it's a voyage to the outer limits of the soul itself. Tonight, John Storgards takes the BBC Philharmonic to infinity and beyond, and follows two great northern composers on their own fantastic journeys.
John McCabe wrote Fire at Durilgai specially for the BBC Phil; a stunningly beautiful vision of the Australian outback. Sir Harrison Birtwistle, meanwhile, was born in Accrington, and some say that he's Britain's greatest living composer. Judge for yourself, as trumpeter-extraordinaire Håkan Hardenberger toasts his 80th birthday.
