The winner of the Deluxe Edition of the Year at the Presto Music Awards 2023 is the facsimile full score edition of Gustav Holst's The Planets Opus 32, edited by Imogen Holst and Colin Matthews. This edition is presented as a clothbound, full-colour, hardback edition with a dustjacket, and it is limited to a certain number of copies. This is a true collectors' edition, as it features the manuscript of the full score of The Planets, reproduced as it was first performed in 1918, three years before the first published edition.
However, it is worth noting that not all of the manuscript is in Holst's handwriting due to the pressure of work and the painful neuritis in his arm, which required him to rely on amanuenses to help him complete the score. The edition includes a detailed description of the various handwritings and two appendices that illustrate how Holst worked with his assistants. These appendices include Holst's autograph arrangements of Mars for two pianos and Neptune for organ duet. The textual collation lists all the differences between the manuscript and the printed score.
This facsimile full score edition of Gustav Holst's The Planets Opus 32 is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic musical composition. It is a must-have for music enthusiasts and collectors alike, and it provides a glimpse into the creative process of one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.
