Holst The Planets - Sir Adrian Boult - Vienna State Opera Orchestra
The partnership between composer Gustav Holst and conductor Sir Adrian Boult represents one of the most significant and fruitful artistic alliances in early 20th-century British music. At the heart of their relationship lay mutual respect, artistic alignment, and a shared devotion to musical integrity. Boult, who would go on to become one of Britain’s most celebrated conductors, played a vital role in bringing Holst’s music to the forefront of public attention. In turn, Holst found in Boult a conductor who fully understood his music and conveyed it with rare clarity and fidelity.
