Detroit Symphony Orchestra | HOLST'S THE PLANETS - Saturday Nov. 9 @detroitsymphony | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
A constellation of stars shines at Orchestra Hall. British conductor Alpesh Chauhan brings “genuinely exciting stuff” ("The Times," London) to music by fellow Brits, and cellist Johannes Moser dazzles with Saint-Saëns. The star of the show is Holst’s "The Planets"—one of the most exciting and instantly recognizable works of all time, given a celestial bonus by composer Colin Matthews.
