IH established the full range of "H." numbers in it, but only added a list of recorded works to her 1985 edition of her other big book The Music of Gustav Holst - the last and best edition, with a softening of judgement towards pieces she formerly considered not quite up to scratch (including 'Venus', 'Jupiter' and 'Uranus' from The Planets!)

..........well done Alice Farnham and the BBC Concert Orchestra, who it seems have recorded much of the music specially......

The orchestral works come from this CD......which was in the 'classical charts' when issued last year.

Ms Holst came across as somebody with whom I think I would have got on really well. I would never wish to stay in her cottage without her being in it!
