I think this is a case of 'famous last words'. I recently mentioned to Fergus in his thread that, although I don't mind Holst's Planet Suite, it has suffered from repeated exposure to such a degree that I'd be quite happy not to hear it again, for sometime. So much for that ideal...

Holst: The Planets: Yan Pascal Tortelier/ BBC Philharmonic
