Gustav Holst: #101

About this playlist

Gustav Holst was an important 20th-century English composer, conductor and teacher. Holst received international recognition for his outstanding orchestral suite The Planets (1914-16), which influenced many generations of composers years later. Funnily enough, the composer himself never believed it was his finest work.
