Our Take

LPO / ADRIAN BOULT's latest offering, "Holst & Bax: Orchestral Works," is like a musical rollercoaster ride through the quirkiest corners of British classical music. With Sir Adrian Boult at the helm, this album is a delightful mix of Holst's celestial compositions and Bax's bold and unabashed orchestrations.

From the moment the first note hits your ears, you're transported to a world where the harmonies of Jupiter mingle with the adventurous spirit of Tintagel. Boult's masterful conducting brings out the intricate nuances of each piece, making them come alive in a way that only a true maestro can.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra shines brightly throughout the album, their virtuosity on full display as they navigate the intricate melodies and sweeping dynamics with ease. Every instrument sings with a clarity and precision that is truly awe-inspiring.

Holst's "The Planets" take centre stage, with each movement transporting you to a different celestial realm. From the majestic grandeur of Mars to the ethereal beauty of Venus, this iconic suite is a testament to Holst's genius and innovation.

Bax's works provide a dynamic contrast to Holst's celestial musings, with their bold and daring spirit infusing a sense of adventure into the album. From the fiery energy of "Tintagel" to the pastoral beauty of "November Woods," Bax's compositions are a thrilling journey through the British countryside.

Overall, "Holst & Bax: Orchestral Works" is a triumph of British classical music, brought to life with passion and precision by the LPO and Adrian Boult. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the richness and diversity of the British orchestral tradition.
