Daniel Harding conducts Holst’s “The Planets”
Daniel Harding undertakes a visionary musical journey through our solar system with Gustav Holst’s atmospheric orchestral suite The Planets. From rugged Mars to mystical Neptune, each planet has its own character. One work that Holst greatly admired was Arnold Schoenberg’s Five Pieces for Orchestra, which fluctuate between late Romanticism and Modernism. Brett Dean’s Komarov’s Fall was commissioned by the Philharmoniker in 2006 as a companion piece to Holst’s Planets.
