The Philharmonia under Esa-Pekka Salonen presents the YouTube premiere of their 2012 recording of Holst’s The Planets, with an extra final movement composed specially for the installation by Joby titled Worlds, Stars, Systems, Infinity, on their YouTube channel.

In 2012 Watford Colosseum was transformed into a huge studio where each section, and in many cases each individual player, was filmed and recorded performing The Planets to create a multi-room installation introducing the instruments of the orchestra. In Universe of Sound, a partnership with the Science Museum, and more recently in The Virtual Orchestra, around half a million people on three continents have had the chance to experience Holst’s masterpiece in larger-than-life detail.

Members of the Philharmonia who took part in the original recording will be online to share their memories and answer questions in the live chat. For more information, visit the Philharmonia’s website.
