When you listen to this piece and consider that Venus may well have once been like Earth, but is now a dry, toxic and desolate world, shrouded by its thick atmosphere, you start to feel pain. You start to feel sadness and a longing for what could have been for our sister world, had it not met the fate it did. However, there is beauty in this piece, as well as a few hauntingly solemn parts too. Venus, the bringer of peace is a requiem for a failed planet, which still possesses so much beauty.
I can't tell what I love more: the haunting, enchanting melody, anachronistically reminiscent of something from a Miyazaki film, or that flautist's mustache. 😆
Agree. She is superb. Check her out in Jupiter, from this same work, about 15 minutes or so later. You’ll see how she does with FIRE in her eyes. Wow. Like most top notch conductors she uses her other hand for cues and communications.
Before I die (which at 23 should hopefully be quite a while off) I want to see this whole suite performed live by a world class orchestra. I want to get into seeing classical performances in general but The Planets in particular is a standout suite for me with Venus being my favourite piece. My favourite interpretation is the 1990 recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The BBC Symphony Orchestra do a marvellous job here though.
Having watched this again I've just seen my comment and can say that just yesterday I travelled to the Royal Albert Hall and watched the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra perform The Planets. :)
This song was perfect for Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The scene it was in suited it, especially when Gromit was taking care of his prized melon and the other residents were wishing their vegetables goodnight and arming the anti-pesto devices. Not to mention the name of the song perfectly fits the scene! And the music matches the year Wallace & Gromit is set in. I just love the tempo, instruments, everything! Well done!
The whole thing is a completely beautiful piece, and we all will have our different favourite passages, because it's subjective. Mine is from around 2:40 - 3:50 ish, but that's the kind of wild and crazy cat I am. The only thing not up for debate is that Gustav was a smegging genius.
I’m playing this for community orchestra with the majority of the other planets in the suite, and I’ll play the Celeste for the first time on this piece! I am playing mallet percussion on the other pieces, but I love the way Holst writes the Celeste parts in Venus, Mercury, and Neptune. This is a beautiful movement from the suite, and they all did well!
What a beautiful performance … I love this piece of music and so wonderful,seeing some of the musicians … the lead flute player what a character he looks and the oh so magnificent conductor what a beautiful and graceful performer
“¿Lo ves, Sarah Lynn? No estamos condenados. En el gran orden del Universo, solo somos pequeñas luces que un día serán olvidadas; no importa qué hicimos en el pasado o cómo seremos recordados, lo único que importa es el presente, el momento, este espectacular momento que estamos compartiendo juntos. ¿No es así, Sarah Lynn? ¿Sarah Lynn?... ¿Sarah Lynn?”
Aside from being just a beautiful, dreamlike piece, this song really does tent to put me at ease. Bringer of Peace is right! P.s: Principal Fluotist has a really awesome mustache lol
Eiin wirklich großartiges Meisterwerk! Kaum zu glauben, dass. e i n. Mensch so etwas komponieren konnte mit seinen sphärischen Harmonien und dem Reichtum orchestraler Farben. Ein sehr inspiriertes geniales Stück. Ein fantastisches Orchester, eine tolle Dirigentin und ja...der Schnurrart des Soloflötisten ist in der Tat ein Hingucker!
Amara was born in a village where music hung in the air like fragrant petals. A place where melodies flowed like the river, winding its way through the heart of the land. The tales say that when she was but a child, she'd sit on the riverbank, feet dangling in the water, her spirit floating among the cosmos. One day, as a soft breeze rustled the trees, Amara heard a sound. Not from the Earth, but from beyond. A hauntingly beautiful piece, a symphony unlike any she had ever heard. It was “The Planets,” with Venus shining the brightest. The music swirled around her, taking her on a journey across the universe. She felt the warmth of Venus, its allure, and mysteries. The music spoke of love, beauty, and timelessness. As the notes danced, they painted stories of realms unknown to humans. Amara grew older, her life echoing the music’s rhythms. Through joys, sorrows, love, and loss, the melody of Venus was her constant companion. It became her heartbeat, the thread connecting her to the mysteries of the cosmos. Time flowed, as it does for all, and Amara found herself standing at the precipice of life. As her final breaths ebbed away, “The Planets” swelled around her. And when her eyes closed for the last time, the universe opened its embrace. She found herself back on the riverbank, young again, but with the wisdom of a lifetime. The water sparkled, mirroring the stars, and Venus shone the brightest. The music played, not from any instrument but from the very fabric of the universe. She realized the melody of Venus was not just a song but the very essence of existence. It existed in and outside of time and space, a testament to the eternal dance of the cosmos. And as the symphony continued, Amara understood: We are all, in our essence, whispers of the universe, bound by the timeless melodies of the stars. And Venus? Venus is the song of love, forever echoing in the hearts of those who listen.
You're right, "astronomically" speaking..., but Gustav had in mind the astrological traits/personalities if you will of all the known planets at the time. (Pluto would not be discovered until 1931,I believe) Also IMHO there should be a suite about the asteroids also!
I found out of this beautiful piece of art, because of the "Visual Novel Game" "Venus - Improbable Dream" what I played this week, and I fell in love with it.
@@aydenrozzelle7691 You don't like my Profile-Pic? Sorry. But I have this pic since the beginning of my channel. And that is like 10 years ago. Maybe more. And I don't only love classical music. I also like Death Metal and stuff like that. And that's where my pic is from. It's from a Death Metal band. I will not change it. But I am not praising satan or other crazy things, that you think, a person with my profil pic does. I am a normal person :)
I still refuse to believe, even though there isn't any mention of it anywhere, that the soundtrack for Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) wasn't heavily inspired by The Planets.

I’m starting to tear up
You know the conductor is awesome when they conduct Mars like a maniac and conduct Venus like a small child. She even looks the part.

LMAO YEAH
i think the mustache
Michael Cox.
I thought he was an animation.

so rude of this orchestra to be playing in the middle of a coughing competition
XD
Hysterical. 😂

Hahaha!
This melody is a lullaby of the universe, and a cradle of cosmos
truly
mustache man _really_ loves his flute
Legend and an Icon
6:51 his eyebrow raising is quite something.
🤣🤣🤣
Like a GLOVE!!
And his dancing eyebrows. 😊
Am I crazy for liking this more than Jupiter?
Absolutely not!
I like Mars more so I am the crazy one
This is my favourite by far
Saturn runs rings around this.
my favorite used to be jupiter, but this has grown on me so much. i’m on the same page as you haha
Man, the movements from the conductor are soooooo pretty. U know, its all so fluid and graceful...
indeed,and at times she almost caught the butterfly......almost.
You were doing great until you wrote "U". Stop doing that.

this made my heart ache because of how beautiful this is

What made my heart ache is flautist's mustache
I cant help laughing whenever I see the flute with the mustache
Same lol

Stop making fun, that takes talent. I don’t see you out there playing the flute with a straight face.

The ever beautiful, graceful, sensitive, illuminating, affluent, peaceful Venus... Lord of the Stars, I bow down to you.
Venus has always been my favorite one from this suite

pure bliss...by far my favorite from Holtz's Planets...
I knew the conductor was Finnish, just by seeing her.
Lol same! I went like "she has familiar facial features somehow" and then I saw the name
Salonen is Finnish also . Good conductors come from Finland
Beautiful. Wonderfully conducted!
I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast, straight after the day's test match highlights on Channel 5. Wonderful to see it again.
What a beautiful performance … I love this piece of music and so wonderful,seeing some of the musicians … the lead flute player what a character he looks and the oh so magnificent conductor what a beautiful and graceful performer

As no one has mentioned the beautiful twinkle of the Celeste, I thought I would!
Am I the only one that thinks of the original Star Trek tv series when listening to Venus? I can't be! ❤🧠 super jazzy layers, too!
Yes! I specifically thought of The Motion Picture from 1979. Parts of this made me think of the the Vger Meld scene from the end.
Hey, this movement reminds me a lot of Yoda's Theme from the original Star Wars soundtrack, so I don't think you're that much off base.

I have been inside the Royal Albert Hall. Very nice acoustics.
Happy Birthday Dad!!
One of my fave pieces of music
I really like the flutist💕so cute
김지수 who moustachio??
Jezu, jakie to piękne!
Amazing music!
Brilliant. Wow!
One day John Williams discovered Venus. The rest is history.
The best work among The Planets suite
John Barry, John Williams... you took an amazing inspiration....
The sound level is quiet on this - needs turning up quite a bit
Also, moustache guy at 6:55 is creepily funny
Also, person having a minor coughing fit at 2:12.
That's why i like it so much it's quiet and Introverted like me ÙwÚ
it's meant to be quiet to be fair.
I was going to say it can be interpreted to be quieter but I realized that I am watching this at max volume at 4am so maybe it could be up a bit
I discovered this song thanks to the MiNRS trilogy by Kevin Sylvester. Such a beautiful song, I’m so glad I got to discover this.
I think if Gustav could have understood what a violent place Venus really is this piece would of been very different.
You're right, "astronomically" speaking..., but Gustav had in mind the astrological traits/personalities if you will of all the known planets at the time. (Pluto would not be discovered until 1931,I believe) Also IMHO there should be a suite about the asteroids also!

Any of holst.

Mars = hans zimmer
Perhaps their inspiration
And that lone clarinet in Venus makes me thing of princess leia
No you're not! It's charming and envolvent this piece!
Love the French Horns!

I watched the Detroit Symphony play the entire suite. They are not a top symphony orchestra though. The BBC orchestra can't come close to the Vienna Philharmonic
