The Planets
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic is joined by Paul Lewis for Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto. They celebrate the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst's birth with a performance of The Planets.
To mark the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst's birth, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic, with their Chief Conductor John Storgards celebrate in style with a performance of his thrilling suite "The Planets". Fuelled by his vast imagination, his interest in astronomy, a fascination with Indian literature and music, and inspired by the wealth of colour available to him in a large orchestra, he created music with memorable tunes, relentless rhythm and varied atmospheres. It has captivated audiences and remained bang up-to-date for over a hundred years.
Paul Lewis joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic for Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto; here's an opportunity to share a concert performance with an artist who intimately knows, and cares deeply about, this music.
ABLAZE THE MOON by Grace-Evangeline Mason is music inspired by the American poetry of Sara Teasdale. Here, the image of the moon as a golden flower suspended in a dark sky inspires music of contrast and luminosity.
Recorded at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester on Saturday 21 September 2024
