Peace - Pure Classical Calm

Search: Holst: The Planets - Venus
from: Virgin TV

Release Date March 15, 2004
I am currently in my first year at university and rapidly approaching exams....I was looking for a calming, relaxing sound to help me focus and stay positive - this did the trick! I am new to classical music so I wanted somethng that would be soothing and not too dramatic - admittidly some of the tracks are quite lively, but this provides a contrast to the more chilled tracks. You may also recognise some of the pieces from the big screen (Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings...), adverts and tv programmes - at last that tune that was stuck in your head can be granted full appreciation. This has been a great investment for me and has sparked my new interest in the classical genre. It's well worth playing after a night on the town when you're still ... Read More:

Relaxing Classic FM

Search: Holst: The Planets - Venus
from: Bmg

Release Date October 17, 2005
For a relaxing couple of hours just to yourself, plug in the headphones and sit back and enjoy. The music flows pleasantly from soft and light to that more uplifting fibrancy that pulls you and your heart and mind to an edge of pleasure but without going overboard into the more emotional and vibrant pieces. For myself i have preferred using a travel mask to totally remove myself from the house around me! Really relaxing!

Holst: The Planets / Matthews: Pluto

Search: Holst: The Planets - Venus
from: Hyperion

Release Date June 18, 2001
I can't give this less than five stars for all the brilliance here. It's a great performance of Holst's well-known masterpiece The Planets, and a beautiful little-known one, the Lyric Movement. I have as yet, however, despite many listenings and keen inclination to hear what it's saying, not enjoyed/understood Colin Matthews' `addition' to Holst's planet suite - Pluto. To my ears and feelings Matthews' work is simply from a different palate. Notably perhaps, whilst Holst was somewhat taken with astrological connections, Matthews has downplayed this - oddly, as Holst's interest was known to be both whimsical and, after its own manner, serious. Significantly, Holst was uninclined to add to his Planets suite when in 1930 Pluto was discovered, and is ... Read More:
