The Planets Op 32 - Gustav Holst
We make no apology for programming another performance of Holst's most well-known piece in order to present the remarkable project developed by the Houston Symphony, which marries the music to astounding still and moving images from NASA using material sent back by the Voyager, Mars Rover and other space missions. The rest of the concert keep the celestial theme, with Stravinsky's colourful depiction of fireworks, and the symphony by John Adams drawn from the music of his successful opera about Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb.
