Our Take

Ah, HOLST & WALTON - two names that sound more like a law firm than a musical duo. But don't be fooled by their mundane monikers, because their collaboration on "Planet Suite & Spitfire" is anything but boring.

This album is the musical equivalent of a cosmic whirlwind, with Holst's Planets Suite taking listeners on a celestial journey through the solar system. From the majestic melodies of "Mars, the Bringer of War" to the ethereal beauty of "Neptune, the Mystic," each track is a sonic odyssey that will transport you to another realm.

But just when you think you've reached the stars, Walton's "Spitfire" swoops in like a daring pilot, injecting a dose of adrenaline-fuelled excitement into the mix. With its stirring brass fanfares and dramatic crescendos, this piece is a thrilling ride from start to finish.

Overall, HOLST & WALTON have delivered a masterpiece that blends classical sophistication with a touch of British eccentricity. It's the musical equivalent of sipping tea while riding a spaceship, and honestly, what more could you ask for?

So strap in, dear listeners, because "Planet Suite & Spitfire" is a wild ride that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Bon voyage!
