Gustav Holst took on a great task in writing his epic orchestral suite, “The Planets.” With each of the seven movements representing a planet in our solar system and the thoughts and feelings associated with it, the piece reflects on the history of humanity’s relationship with the celestial bodies of the night sky. Tune into this week’s Sunday Symphony for a striking performance of this piece by the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Sir Colin Davis, and much more!
