Holst spent much of his career as a member of various orches- tras and in teaching, and it was only comparatively late in life that his compositions brought him fame. Despite his love of English folk tunes, which are incorporated sometimes unexpectedly in many of his widely contrasted works, his style was generally too austere to have wide popular appeal.

Orchestral poems "The Planets" is probably most frequently played of his fifty works. In tributes by critics and other composers Holst is described as undoubtedly one of the foremost musical figures of the present century.-British Wire- less.
