5.0 out of 5 stars The best recording of the Military Suites one can find!, April 16, 1999

This review is from: Holst: Hammersmith / Moorside Suite / Suite No. 1 in E flat / Suite No. 2 in F (Audio CD)

Wow. This is the way Gustav Holst meant for these works to be performed. 1st and 2nd Suites are exceptional. Hammersmith is extraordinary.

If you've never listened to Holst "other" music (besides the very unexeciting "Planets"), you're in for a treat. It's a shame there isn't more wind music out there, because it can take you a lot of places if you let it. Having trouble getting going in the morning? Put Holst's "March" on your car CD and you'll be in a better mood by the time you get to work. Other pieces could work nicely as movie soundtracks, ballet music, etc. Everything is lyrical, rhythmic, ever-changing, accessible, easy to get into, and mostly upbeat. Give Holst's wind music a try!
