Holst The Planets and Varese Arcana CD Leonard Slatkin Philharmonia Orchestra 1997 Club Edition

As Conductor of The Philharmonia Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin's 1997 recording of Holst's The Planets is comparable to Dutoit's recording for its sound quality. Edgard Varese (1883-1965) was an avant-garde composer who liked to experiment and his Arcana composition may just renew your interest in his work. Gustav Holst's (1874-1934) The Planets had English Folk Song inspirations and is considered one of his best compositions.
