GENRE: orchestral suite
PERFORMANCE: Friday, January 11th, 2013 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the LA Philharmonic, conducted by Vassily Sinaisky
Can't believe this was the first time I heard The Planets all the way through. Loved it! And really unique setup in the Walt Disney Concert Hall, very large, and varying levels, angles of seating. So interesting that we automatically think of Holst whenever we hear mention of The Planets, yet he felt like it detracted from much of his other substantial pieces.
