Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A warm welcome back to some old friends from EMI's extensive Vaughan Williams archive. Both An Oxford Elegy (a hauntingly nostalgic setting from 1947-9 for speaker, chorus and chamber orchestra of words by poet Matthew Arnold) and the sensuous Flos campi (1925) for solo viola, wordless chorus and small orchestra were set down within the ideal acoustic of Cambridge's Trinity College Chapel. John Westbrook's spoken contribution in the former piece is a model of eloquence, and if Sir David Willcocks's Flos campi is just a little stiff by the side of, say, Vernon Handley's marvellous Liverpool account, it does have the benefit of Cecil Aronowitz's incomparable viola playing. As a bonus we also get the 1929 Whitsunday Hymn, recorded during those same July 1968 sessions (and never previously issued). This generous collection concludes with Willcocks's more-than-useful performance of the ambitious 1923-5 oratorio Sancta Civitas--a red-blooded rendering, if without quite the same rapt grandeur and breathtaking refinement of Richard Hickox's stunningly well balanced 1992 version (again with the LSO and also on EMI British Composers). Excellent remasterings and admirable presentation. --Andrew Achenbach
