Few pieces hit like this! Holst’s Mars — raw energy, relentless rhythm, and one of the most powerful openings in orchestral music. This is just one moment from a program I’m looking forward to conducting with the Winston-Salem Symphony on March 28 at 3 PM! Featuring music by Mozart, Saint-Saëns, Strauss, Johann Strauss Jr., Holst, and Jasil Olabode, alongside performances by the outstanding winners of the Peter Perret Youth Talent Search. A program that brings together iconic repertoire, emerging artists, and a full community of musicians on one stage. Looking forward to sharing this with you. https://www.wssymphony.org/event/concert-for-community/ #ClassicalMusic #Orchestra #Conducting #Holst #ThePlanets OrchestralMusic LiveMusic WinstonSalem

The joy of someone who knows pain—and chose joy anyway.” 🎻✨ Witness the breathtaking power of Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” from The Planets, performed by the hr-Sinfonieorchester under Hugh Wolff. Composed in 1914, The Planets was born from Holst’s obsession with astrology. He didn’t want to describe orbits; he wanted to translate how each planet made you feel. While “Jupiter” became a global anthem of “Jollity” and was even chosen by Princess Diana for her wedding, Holst famously hated the fame it brought him. For him, this wasn’t just music—it was an exploration of the soul. 🏛️🌌🎶💎 Follow for the best of classical music history! ❤️ Does this melody make you feel joy or something deeper?

🪐✨ Gustav Holst — The Planets, Op. 32 — IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity hr-Sinfonieorchester · Hugh Wolff, regente 🎻 • In the video, you heard what Holst called a “happy accident.” But nothing in this suite was an accident. In 1913, a year before the war, Holst traveled to Spain with friends and returned obsessed with astrology. He bought the book What is a Horoscope? by Alan Leo and spent months studying the temperament of each planet as if studying a person. When he sat down to compose, he didn’t want to describe orbits or sizes — he wanted to translate what each planet made you feel. He spent three years dictating note by note, unable to write alone. The result is seven movements that sound like seven states of the soul, and the fourth of them is the one you just heard on your headphones. • What the video didn’t have time to tell: Holst hated the fame The Planets brought. When asked for an autograph, he would hand out a printed card saying he didn’t give autographs. He avoided journalists. He once said, “Every artist should pray not to be a success.” And most revealing — the movement he considered the best of the suite was not Jupiter. It was Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age. While the world fell in love with Jupiter’s joy, Holst preferred the weight of time passing. Perhaps that’s why the joy in this movement sounds the way it does. It’s not light. It’s the joy of someone who knows pain — and chose joy anyway. • This recording features the hr-Sinfonieorchester under Hugh Wolff, who was principal conductor of this orchestra for nearly a decade. When he returned to Frankfurt as a guest, critics wrote that “rarely has the orchestra sounded so committed.” • 👉 Follow us, the best of classical music, every day in your feed. • • • #classicalmusic #orchestra #violin #musician

Today's horoscope: love and peace! ☮️ Did you know Gustav Holst was a big fan of astrology? This fascination inspired his writing for The Planets, with each movement representing the astrological character of its respective planet. Enjoy this clip from Venus, the Bringer of Peace, and head to your streaming platform to enjoy the whole movement ahead of the 20 March album release. #LondonSymphonyOrchestra
