Holst: The Planets, Op. 32 / Varese: Arcana CD 1997 Leonard Slatkin Orchestra

Description: Holst: The Planets, Op. 32 / Varese: Arcana CD 1997 Leonard Slatkin Philharmonia Orchestra The current issue of Schwann Opus lists over 40 versions of Gustav Holst's singular masterpiece The Planets. This is but another version, except that the disc companion is a quirky and alchemic Arcana (1927) of Varése. It is a peculiar lead-in to The Planets, mostly because of its atonal statements. But Varése and Holst were near-contemporaries, and these works almost parallel one another. One is atonal and abrasive; the other is colorful and dynamic. The Planets is very much controlled; Arcana gives the appearance of being improvisational where it obviously is not. Slatkin's take on both these works is quite good. --Paul Cook Free Shipping!
