Venus from The Planets by Holst for solo harp

Olivia Jageurs (harp)
Recorded live at Wigmore Hall
An arrangement I made based on Everard Sigal's piano reduction. I first played this as an audience request during my online concert series Harpy Hour. www.harpyhour.co.uk

It must be wonderful to live in the same house with you and to hear you practice. The whole house would be a constant scene of magic.

So, so beautiful, Olivia! ^_^

Holst’s Venus tends to be eclipsed by the more overt Mars and Jupiter. It’s great to spend time discovering it’s subtleties. Thanks Olivia for choosing to give us The Bringer of Peace. 🕊

Thank you for your lovely comment David and for requesting this piece in the first place on a Harpy Hour! If it wasn't for you I would never have created the arrangement in the first place.

Unique! Poignant! The harp delivers an unexpected emotional range. A great performance .Holst himself would have been moved.
