Holst: Mars - National Symphony Orchestra | The Kennedy Center
The National Symphony Orchestra performs Holst's "Mars," conducted by Michael Butterman. Travel back to 1913 when English composer Gustav Holst (pronounced HOLE-st) looked up in the sky and was inspired to write seven “mood pieces” collectively called The Planets. Each piece represented a different planet known at that time. Now, Holst wasn’t the first person to look at the night sky with wonder. In ancient times, people stared at the heavens and believed in the movements of “celestial bodies” and their influence over people on Earth. In fact, Holst based his piece about Mars more on the Roman god of war of the same name, than on any characteristics of the “red planet.” When you listen to Holst’s “Mars, the Bringer of War,” you’ll hear those trumpet calls, military rhythms, and clashing harmonies marching us straight into battle. Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F. Kennedy's Vision and Courage, a Young People's Concert." Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni. In the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, October 18, 2016.

Schubert - Symphony No. 8, Mvt. 1 | Noseda conducts the National Symphony Orchestra
Experience the emotional depth and haunting beauty of Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, “Unfinished”, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda with the National Symphony Orchestra. Despite its nickname, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is widely considered a complete artistic statement. Composed in 1822, it comprises only two movements—yet in that brief span, Schubert conveys a world of human experience: longing, joy, sorrow, and transcendence. With its lyrical first movement, this symphony stands as one of the great works of the Romantic era.

Schubert - Symphony No. 8, Mvt. 2 | National Symphony Orchestra (excerpt)
Gianandrea Noseda conducts Schubert's Symphony No. 8, "Unfinished." Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is not unfinished at all. Its brilliance lies in the composer’s deliberate decision to leave the masterpiece as is, and no music lover would have it any other way. With compassion for man’s mortality, Schubert packs a lifetime of hope, suffering, and joy into just two perfect movements.
