Our Take

Vernon Handley and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra take us on a cosmic journey with their interpretation of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" and "St. Paul Suite."

From the haunting melodies of Mars, the Bringer of War to the ethereal beauty of Venus, the Bringer of Peace, Handley conducts with precision and passion. The orchestra's performance is truly out of this world, capturing the celestial grandeur and cosmic power of Holst's iconic compositions.

Each movement is a sonic masterpiece, with the strings shimmering like stars in the night sky and the brass section blasting like supernovas. The musicians handle the intricate rhythms and complex harmonies with ease, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

But it's not just Holst's "Planets" that shine on this album. The addition of the "St. Paul Suite" provides a delightful contrast, with its lively dance rhythms and folksy melodies. Handley and the RPO bring a sense of joy and playfulness to these pieces, showcasing their versatility and musicality.

In conclusion, Vernon Handley and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's performance of Holst's "Planets" and "St. Paul Suite" is a stellar achievement. If you're looking for a cosmic sonic adventure, look no further than this celestial masterpiece.
