I'm so thankful for the KZitem posts that broaden the scope of Holst's compositions. He was so much more than "The Planets."

I've just been having a listen to the brass original and the string orchestra arrangement uploaded in the Holst playlist, figuring it was high time I re-acquainted myself with this gorgeous version by Jacob. And it really is quite outstanding, especially the very moving, beautiful Nocturne.

It's strange. The woodwind in the slow movement should be even more affecting than the brass original. But - and perhaps it's familiarity with the original - I think they actually detract from the very quiet, pale colouring that Holst arrived at.

If you are interested in British music for brass band, I have a playlist comprising uploads that I haven't yet posted publicly : kzitem.info/door/PLHxzuXilW2AKaa-PnR_jPo94YBu1udtei

Thank you! Do you upload privately first and then "release" the videos?

Yes. When I first started uploading in earnest, some works with many CD small tracks had some fragments posted twice or not at all (or occasionally with CD rip errors.) Now I endeavour to listen to them before publishing. Also, a more subjective judgement in that on re-listening to a piece sometimes I change my mind about publishing at all.

And that quality-checking is much appreciated.

Jacob's arrangement is definitively more orchestral but it loses a lot of the characteristics of the Holstian magic that the string orchestra arrangement (by Holst himself) offers...
