The Planets Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

At a time when polar expeditions still required heroism and space travel only existed in the imagination, Vaughan Williams and Holst wrote their great musical visions. The Planets takes us on a journey through the solar system; the Sinfonia Antarctica – almost never heard in the concert hall, but completely brilliant, according to Tarmo Peltokoski – shows the unapproachable beauty of the South Pole. Dazzling.
