Episode 243: The Perfect Fool - Holst

No one wants to be known as the perfect fool. In 1923 when Gustav Holst wrote an opera with that name, he gave rise to the same problem. "The Perfect Fool" wasn’t popular, and it makes you wonder why the composer, who has won the hearts of wind band fans with the 1st and 2nd Suites for Military Band at the top of the charts, would write an opera. Why go where Verdi and Wagner were the champions?
