No te contesté, pero es que no tenía ni idea de quién era.
No obstante, buscando en la Wikipedia 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Planets):
<<Pluto was discovered in 1930, four years before Holst's death, and it was 
hailed by astronomers as a new planet. Holst expressed no interest in writing 
a movement for it--as previously stated, he had become disillusioned by the 
popularity of the suite by that time, believing that it took too much 
attention away from his other works.
Numerous other composers have written their own Pluto movements. In 2000, the 
Hallé Orchestra commissioned the composer Colin Matthews, a Holst specialist, 
to write a new eighth movement, which Matthews entitled Pluto, the Renewer. 
Dedicated to Imogen Holst, Gustav Holst's daughter, it was first performed in 
Manchester on May 11, 2000, with Kent Nagano conducting the Hallé Orchestra. 
Matthews changed the ending of Neptune slightly so that the movement would 
lead directly into Pluto.>>

Si lo escuchas, ya nos darás tu opinión.


P.S.: Puestos a aprender cosas, mira de lo que se entera uno:
<<The concept of the work is astrological[4] rather than astronomical (which 
is why Earth is not included). The idea was suggested to Holst by Clifford 
Bax, who introduced him to astrology when the two were amongst a small group 
of English artists holidaying in Majorca in the spring of 1913; Holst became 
quite a devotee of the subject, and liked to cast friends' horoscopes for 
fun.[4][5] Each movement is intended to convey ideas and emotions associated 
with the human psyche, not the Roman deities. Holst also used Alan Leo's[4] 
book What is a Horoscope? as a springboard for his own ideas, as well as for 
the subtitles (i.e., "The Bringer of...") for the movements.>>
Vamos, una obra de transfondo magufo.
