A new recording of Gustav Holst's chamber opera "Sāvitri" features soprano Siri Karoline Thornhill in the title role, replacing the traditional mezzo-soprano. This release marks a significant update, as the previous notable recording is nearly 60 years old. The album includes Holst's songs, such as the "Four Songs for Voice and Violin" and selections from the "Humbert Wolfe songs" and "Vedic Hymns," all arranged by Klaus Simon. This recording, conducted by Simon and featuring the Holst-Sinfonietta, aims to honor Holst's 150th birthday with a carefully curated selection of his works.
