Show Notes
YolanDa Brown joins trumpet player Anne McAneney, cellist Francis Bucknall and harpist Rachel Masters to discuss Gustav Holst’s most famous work, The Planets.
Space, the solar system and intergalactic travel have been depicted in music and films for decades, but Gustav Holst was there early, trying to communicate the vastness of the planets (and their mythical links) with music.
In this episode of LPO Offstage the players reveal what the piece is really like to play, the techniques Holst uses in his music which make it sound so ‘space like’ and why he was so ahead of his time.
Plus, musical extracts weave through the conversation…
