Damn, I've listened to this Suite so many times over, but never have I heard a molto ritardando added in such as the one at 10:34. I feel that this tiny addition adds so much to the climax of the entire piece, as the horns slowly swell to a fortissimo, and the woodwinds slow their speedy eight notes to a near halt, only to be set back to full tempo in the next measure. It all makes the already great climax that much more impactful

This an extremely excellent version of the Second Suite. Holst's music was largely ignored by professional ensembles while he was still alive, even The Planets. He died in 1934 at 70. NHK Symphony is exceptional in virtually all music.
@ryans67417 жыл бұрын
This piece is crazy... listening to it again (particularly the last movement) gives me such nostalgia. I played it my sophomore year of high school and was only 2nd trombone, but I vividly remembering listening to the principal trombonist (a senior who had learned Euphonium entirely on his own for the sake of this piece) crack out those solos was breathtaking. It will always have a place in my heart.

As a young brass musician, Holst's military suites were always test pieces, and part of our regular concert repertoire. In most bands I played for we were always lacking in euphonium/baritone. So, as lead trombonist, I got to double up on a number of soloes. I still love listening to the euphonium solo in the first movement. One of my favourite parts.
