Vaughan Williams: A London Symphony & other works
BBC Symphony Orchestra, Martyn Brabbins (conductor)
CDA68190
Vaughan Williams’s London Symphony (the composer’s favourite of the nine) makes a rare appearance in its 1920 first publication. Three lesser-known works complete a highly desirable programme, while Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Symphony Orchestra understand how this music should be played like few others. This is mandatory listening.
