    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.

      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.

This is a beautiful movement from the suite, and they all did well!

    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!

    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.
