Classical Destinations S02E10 - London, Thaxted and Cheltenham: Gustav Holst & Ralph Vaughan Williams

We revisit London and explore Cheltenham, the birthplace of Gustav Holst, as we learn about these two great English composers. We spend time in Holst's beloved English countryside, especially the Cotswolds, and travel to the delightful village of Thaxted where he wrote some of his greatest works. This episode is a true picture postcard of the traditional English countryside. ACO2 perform two movements from Holst's St Paul Suite.
