The Planets - Gustav Holst - Op.32 Mercury, the Winged Messeng
Today is international "Gustav Holst Day!" the day that everyone far and wide brings out their favorite version of "The Planets" and cranks it up as loud as possible -- I don't want to shortchange our good friend Gustav so I am going to put up ALL of the movements throughout the day so you all have something to listen to.
This first one is a good one. You have to be in a certain mood for listening to this one in my opinion: Touches on some nice emotions, and it moves in a natural way: getting away from the 'play by the numbers' aspect that some classical music has.
