Holst's The Planets - T0700364345

Some phenomena only music can depict. From an age before space travel, Gustav Holst's orchestral suite evoking the astrological associations of the planets represents one of classical music's most extraordinary acts of imagination. Before heading into space, we are lured into the wilderness courtesy of music from conductor Sakari Oramo's home country of Finland. The looping repetitions of Sibelius's The Wood Nymph lead us shaman-like into a seductive woodland, while Lara Poe's brand new work for soprano and orchestra channels haunting Nordic cow-calling traditions. Student musicians from Helsinki and London unite for a Prom all about music's conjuring power. There will be an interval.Performer Anu Komsi (soprano). Company Royal College of Music Chamber Choir. Company Royal College of Music Symphony Orchestra. Company Sibelius Academy Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Sakari Oramo.
