'The Cloud Messenger' Holst |
| Performance Notes | Deeply in love and enlightened by Sanskrit literature, Gustav Holst embarked upon what many consider his true masterpiece. The Cloud Messenger recounts an ancient tale in which a man sends a message of love to his distant wife via a passing cloud. It drew from the composer a rich and passionate work charting loves trials and rewards.
This performance, marking 150 years since Holsts birth, comes after Elgars ever-popular, bittersweet Cello Concerto and the gentle exhalations of Jonathan Harveys Tranquil Abiding, inspired by Buddhist meditation.
