Vaughan Williams
Vaughan Williams: Live Vol. 4 (SOMM Recordings)
More treasures lovingly restored – but without the revelations of the earlier volumes [NB]
Music for Strings (Chandos)
An absolutely outstanding disc containing some of the best of English string music [EJW]
The King of the Golden River (SOMM Recordings)
(Déjà Review) Another enterprising album from SOMM that deserves to succeed [IL]
Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5 (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) A most impressive album [IL]
Vaughan Williams: Chamber Works (Resonus)
Attractive rarities, including an unstoppable performance of the Old 104th Fantasia [EJW]
Vaughan Williams: Live Vol 2 (SOMM Recordings)
Lani Spahr’s expert restorations have breathed new life into these important archive recordings [JQ]
Music for Strings (Chandos)
Superb playing and engineering; any reservations will centre upon the desirability of the programme [RMo]
British String Quartets (Rubicon Classics)
A lovely Celtic inflected collection of rarities [DMD]
Vaughan Williams: Symphonies 6 & 9 (Pristine)
Pristine remastering of the first Boult cycle of Vaughan Williams symphonies reaches a triumphant conclusion [PCG]
British Choral Anthems (Naxos)
This recording of the Five Mystical Songs is touched by greatness [JQ]
Vaughan Williams: Extravaganza (Pristine)
Enlightening recordings by Boult of Vaughan Williams’ folk song suites and dance music [GT]
Vaughan Williams: Symphonies (Alto)
A fine pairing from two English conductors and orchestras, immersed in the idiom but in their very different ways [RMo]
Vaughan Williams: Symphonies 7 & 8 (Pristine)
Another triumph for Pristine’s re-masterings of the Boult/Decca cycle [PCG]
Vaughan Williams: Symphonies (Chandos/Halle)
Two very highly accomplished sets, either of which any listener would be happy with, but ultimately my heart belongs to the Chandos box [ST]
