Holst/ Gritton/ BBC Symphony Orchestra/ Davis - Orchestral Works 3

The Grammy-nominated soprano Susan Gritton joins Sir Andrew Davis and the BBC Symphony Chorus and Orchestra in the third volume of Chandos' series exploring orchestral works by Gustav Holst. Inspired by Keats's writings, the First Choral Symphony was described by Holst as 'the best thing I have written.' It is paired with the Mystic Trumpeter, a work based on a poem by Walt Whitman.
