It's so sad, so many people don't know Gustav Holst. The Planets is my favourite music suite ever created, nothing can beat it.

If you are into modern orchestral music, you should definitely go listen to it. My favourite recording of it, is the one played by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra in 1986.

Thomas Hardy died in 1928.

So here's Gustav Holst's Egdon Heath, inspired by my favourite of Hardy's novels, The Return of the Native:-

Been a crazy busy day.

Hosted unexpected but very welcome guests.

:blobcattea:

To top it all off, the moon and Jupiter are twins!

(Plus Mars looks bright and red to the naked eye)

I need to go listen to The Planets Suite

Goodnight Moon

When the car park is full and you have to wait for interval to see the remainder of the performance.

The @tippettquartet’s performances of ' & 's Phantasy are exemplary, but it is the VW String Quartet No. 1 that sets this disc alight with energy & variety of expression
