5.0 out of 5 stars Planets & Moorside, April 13, 2003

This review is from: Planets (Audio CD)

Quite Possibly the best holst CDs made. The planets are a great set of orchestral pieces depicting the personallities of the roman gods that the planets are named after. The Mooride March in A Moorside Suite is quite possibly the best march written by Holst. I give this arrangement of pieces a 5 out of 5.
