Holst's The Planets with the Philharmonia and Ashkenazy in Birmingham

Verity Quaite, 15th June

Everyone has their favourite movement in Holst’s Planets suite. Whether it be the percussive ferocity of “Mars, the Bringer of War”, the contrasting tranquillity of “Venus, the Bringer of Peace” or the joviality of “Jupiter”, there is something in The Planets for everyone.
