'Essential listening' … 'fabulously assured' … 'unequivocally excellent': just a few of the critical superlatives earned by Martyn Brabbins's magnificent Vaughan Williams symphony cycle. In this, the penultimate release of the series, two of the late symphonies are coupled with more rare RVW.
"Even against formidable competition [in No. 6], Martyn Brabbins impresses handsomely. Nothing is forced - the fury and the anguish, the grandeur and the desolation seem almost to speak for themselves." BBC Music Five Stars
