This 6-CD collector's edition provides a chance for all classical music aficionados to listen and experience his timeless compositions.

Gustav Holst: The Collector's Edition feature an extraordinary assembly of artists, including Sir Adrian Boult, Andre Previn, Sir Malcom Sagent, and most significantly, Holst's own daughter, Imogen Holst. From Sir Charles Grove's collaboration with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in multiple works such as: Ode to Death, The Hymn of Jesus, and Short Festival To Deum, to Ralph Down's beautiful organ contributions in A Choral Fantasia and Psalm 86, and finally to the closing Opera performed by the English Chamber Orchestra, the work and spirit of Holst will live on through this memorable tribute.
