Gustav Holst. " Life and art are to Holst not enemies but the complements of each other " (Ralph Vaughan Williams) Ami très proche de Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst [1874-1934] fut comme lui très marqué par l'héritage folklorique de son pays, la musique de l'époque Tudor et la poésie de Walt Whitman. Cela n'en fit pas pour autant des "jumeaux en musique" et leurs styles respectifs diffèrent passablement l'un de l'autre. Gustav Holst (1874–1934) Biographie. Gustav Holst was born on 21 September 1874 in Cheltenham, England, the first of two children to Adolph and Clara von Holst.
Adolph was an accomplished pianist who taught piano and practiced many hours during the day, much to the neglect of his wife, Clara, and their two children. Adolph's family was of Swedish origin. Bibliothéque - Holst, Gustav (1874 - 1934)
