BBC Proms
Sunday Night at the Proms
S38 • E8 Sep 2, 1984
Continuing the weekly series from the 90th season of Henry Wood Promenade Concerts. Tonight, as a tribute to Gustav Hoist, who died 50 years ago, a performance of his popular orchestral work, The Planets. This marvellously orchestrated suite of seven movements was inspired by the astrological characters of the planets in our solar system.
