About this title

About the Author:

Vaughan Williams has come to be regarded as one of the finest British composers of the 20th century. He has a particularly wide-ranging catalogue of works, including choral works, symphonies, concerti, and opera. His searching and visionary imagination, combined with a flexibility in writing for all levels of music-making, has meant that his music is as popular today as it ever has been.

Review:

The fact is that the new edition of the symphony is not only the best to have appeared, but the best by a very long way, and its impact on performances will be apprecaible. It is good to hear that other Vaughan Williams symphonies are to receive similar long-overdue overhauling. * Colin Coleman, Brio (IAML), Spring 2010 *
