Listeners who know only The Planets have a very incomplete appreciation of Gustav Holst. Most of these works were written for student orchestras. They are tuneful, folk-flavored, and highly imaginative, not aiming far beyond entertainment but achieving that goal admirably. The variety or scoring makes this succession of relatively brief pieces work well as a program, and the performances are quite sensible, with vigorous rhythms and a fine sound from the little orchestra--probably much finer than Holst heard when they were new. Add excellent recorded sound and you've got a winner. --Leslie Gerber

4 out of 5 stars Holst.......2006-03-24

A great recording.

Although, the violin solo at the end of St. Paul's Suite (Dargason) seems rushed.

4 out of 5 stars A nice work.......2003-01-24

I came across this work to expand my collection of Holst's music. This collection of music is very nice, though some of the music is brief I found them rewarding.
