From the ominous, relentless march of 'Mars, Bringer of War' to the ethereal high-string sonorities of 'Venus, the Bringer of Peace,' this spectacular symphonic suite established Holst's international reputation as one ofthe most popular and important modern British composers. First performed in 1918, it remains a staple of the Orchestral repertoire.
