On this album, the London Symphony Orchestra and its chief conductor Sir Antonio Pappano present two beloved British masterworks that continue to captivate and inspire. Journey through the cosmos with Gustav Holst's cherished suite The Planets. From the relentless energy of Mars (the bringer of war) to the jubilant optimism of Jupiter (the bringer of joy), the work remains one of the most visionary pieces of the 20th century. The journey concludes mysteriously with Neptune, the mystic, featuring the voices of the vocal ensemble Tenebrae in a wordless, otherworldly choir.

Tintagel by Arnold Bax rounds out the album with a stunning portrait of Cornwall's rugged coastline. Inspired by a visit to the legendary castle in 1917, Bax's symphonic poem evokes windswept cliffs, ancient history, and mythology in music that rolls like the sea itself.
