Little known trivia: prior to Groves’ recording of The Planets, Holst’s work used to include an additional movement (No.3 – "Earth") — unfortunately, it could not survive Groves’s earth-shattering performance! 🙂

Not true, of course. The Planets is a suite based on the astrological meaning of the planets, and the earth doesn’t have one. So there never was an "Earth" movement.

Many thanks chasey1 for sharing Holst: The Planets / St. Paul’s Suite – Sir Charles Groves 😉 Rated thread: excellent! 😉

Thank you for this. It’s a particularly fine performance. Too bad Amazon USA doesn’t offer it on CD.

Many Thanks!

There never was any "Earth" movement. This is an astrological suite, and Earth has no astrological relevance. 😉

thank you

"Little known",yes, but a great performance! Thanks!!!

Many thanks. I’m looking forward to listening to this version.

Thank you!
I used to think there ought to be another movement added called "Pluto, the Bringer of Bones" but of course it isn’t a planet any more ;(

Thanks a lot!!

composer Colin Matthews did write an addition called "Pluto, the Renewer" back in the early 2000s
