Portrait of Gustav Holst

Holst, Gustav

Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham in 1874 and died in London in 1934. Gustav Holst was an English composer. He is best known for his orchestral suite "The Planets," but also composed many other works across various genres, none of which, however, achieved comparable success. His distinctive compositional style was the product of many influences, with Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss being the most important at the beginning of his development. There had been professional musicians in the last three generations of Holst's family, and it was clear from a young age that he would follow the same calling. His independent, expressive, imaginative, and influential musical legacy lives on.
