About
This album by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Nicholas Collon joins together two impressive cosmic visions: Gustav Holst’s iconic orchestral masterpiece The Planets together with a gem from Finnish orchestral literature, Väinö Raitio’s (1891–1945) Moonlight on Jupiter. Raitio’s work from the 1920s is recorded for the first time in 50 years and receives its first CD recording.
