"Everything here has an unmistakable assurance: a composer entirely confident in whatever voice he chose to speak. And that’s what comes across in these delightfully fresh and characterful performances from the Hamburg-based Ensemble Arabesques...it’s a joy, too, to hear works usually dismissed as juvenilia really played rather than patronised, and I found myself returning to this disc with increasing pleasure."
- Gramophone
The English composer Gustav Holst is known to many music lovers only by a single symphonic work: The Planets. This work, first performed in full in 1920, was certainly his greatest success during his lifetime, but reflects only a small part of the composer Holst and his world of ideas. The fact that Holst's oeuvre deserves far greater attention is proved by his chamber music works, which are characterized by dreamlike grace and still clinging to late romanticism.
