This review is from: Holst: Hymns from the Rig Veda; Two Eastern Pictures; Hymn to Dionysus (Audio CD)

Gustav Holst is much more than The Planets. He created very good
works for orchestra, and works for chorus & orchestra. This is a
wonderful CD that shows his art in this genre. Very recommendable.
