VAUGHAN WILLIAMS
The Symphonies / Job / Lark Ascending / etc
Tasmin Little (violin) / BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis

[ Warner Classics / 6 CD ]

Release Date: Monday 21 April 2008

"Outstanding generous measure" Gramophone Magazine Oct 2001

This 6-CD set brings together the acclaimed Vaughan Williams recordings from Teldec's British Line and includes as a bonus two works (The Wasps and Fantasia on Greensleeves) which were not included in the original release. Andrew Davis and the BBC Symphony Orchestra are considered to be interpreters par excellence of this quintessentially British repertoire.

"Davis has the key to this symphony's combination of mystery, menace and qualified optimism." (Sunday Telegraph on Job - A Masque for Dancing)
