Kristjan Järvi & Nordic Pulse Ensemble & London Symphony Orchestra - Sir Antonio Pappano Super Audio CD

On this album, the London Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano capture two British masterpieces that continue to astonish and inspire. Journey through the cosmos with Gustav Holst's beloved Planets suite. From the relentless energy of Mars, the Bringer of War to the jubilant optimism of Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, the work remains one of the most visionary creations of the 20th century. The voyage concludes in mystery with Neptune, the Mystic, featuring the voices of Tenebrae in a wordless, otherworldly chorus. Arnold Bax's Tintagel closes the album with a sweeping portrait of Cornwall's rugged coastline. Inspired by a visit to the legendary castle in 1917, Bax's symphonic poem evokes windswept cliffs, ancient history and mythology in music that surges like the sea itself.
