Vaughan Williams
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]
