5.0 out of 5 stars The best modern recording, 3 Mar 2008
By Matthew Flexman (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The best recorded performance of this much misunderstood symphony is Boult's mono recoding from the early 50's. A close second and in great sound is this from the wonderful Vernon Handley. Anyone who thinks this is a work of easy, serene pastoralism forgets this symphony was dedicated to Sibelius. Handley makes no such mistake and finds the moving, restless quality of Vaughan William's masterpiece. At bargain price, this is a showcase in the performance of British orchestral music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Symphony no 5 , a delight !, 11 Mar 2009
By Anthony Marshall "Saxophonic" (Wimbledon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Tallis Fantasia was always going to be tough to beat, and indeed this recording doesn't...but it comes mighty close. Having first heard an extract from it via the, 'Life Story of V.W.' on the T.V. some months ago, I decided to go ahead and make the purchase. It's a delight from start to finish. Very English and with the very, V.W. depiction of rolling hills and green countryside to the fore. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best recording of this melodic symphony, 28 Jul 2009
A passionate and moving performance of this most beautiful of symphonies. For me the best recording of Vaughan William's triumph - only the Lark Ascending is a more accessible work in my humble opinion. The sound recording is simply superb, making this a super-bargain. Flos Campi is a fantastic and haunting addition. Such a shame that conductor Handley passed away so young.
