'The Planets', G Holst |
| Performance Notes | The Planets: Holsts colourful character portraits of our Solar Systems seven planets (excluding Earth) is by turns powerfully visceral and captivatingly luminous, opening with the war-like Mars and concluding with Neptune, whose alluring sounds float off into the ether.
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Jaime Martín present the suite alongside Welsh composer Grace Williamss Violin Concerto. Suppressed by Williams for many years, it is an intensely lyrical work whose bittersweet opening gives way to an ecstatic slow movement based on a Welsh hymn tune and a joyful finale.
The concert opens with Dora Pejacevics surging single gesture of an Overture, sumptuous textures married to bold, thrusting energy.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. |
