It brings together two landmark works of the 20th century: The Planets, by Gustav Holst, an orchestral suite in seven movements portraying the astrological character of each planet, with moments such as Mars, Jupiter and Neptune; and Lux aeterna, by György Ligeti, a choral piece of suspended atmospheres and dense textures.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra is conducted by William Steinberg and the NDR Choir of Hamburg by Helmut Franz. Recordings from 1968 and 1971, digitally remastered.
For listeners of 20th-century classical music, with an interest in great orchestral suites and the choral avant-garde.
