Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It is difficult now to but imagine the excitement Adrian Boult's recording of Vaughan Williams' Symphony No.6 caused in 1948. To be able to hear at will this powerful, original music from a 75-year-old composer who by all rights should have been creatively spent, was electrifying. It remains a great performance in fair mono, though since there have been other fine versions with much better stereo sound, particularly those by Vernon Handley and Bryden Thomson. Boult's recording does have the advantage of presenting Vaughan Williams' original thoughts on the scherzo--most recordings today use the revised score. The remainder of the disc comprises original 1940s recordings of Vaughan Williams' film music. Scott of the Antarctic is especially notable as the basis of the composer's Symphony No.7, "Sinfonia antartica", so this rare opportunity to hear the original material is very welcome. The same applies to the immensely stirring 49th Parallel, for although the prelude is frequently re-recorded, here is the more expansive "epilogue". The dramatic The Loves of Joanna Godden is unique to this issue and well deserves this return to the catalogue. --Gary S. Dalkin
