CBSO Youth Chorus (women's voices)

National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain
Edward Gardner conductor
Film directors have reached for these works by Strauss and Holst in their attempts to explain the human condition
against the infinite background of space.
The depiction of astrological characters in The Planets, from the cheeky gameplay of Mercury to the shattering impact of
Mars, could be made for the resonance of the Royal Albert Hall. The power of Strausss Also sprach Zarathustra is no
less cinematic.

Highlights
Proms Extra

Ahead of Holsts The Planets, novelist Stephen Baxter
examines the work of science-fiction writer H. G. Wells,
