Elizabeth Watts (soprano), Mary Bevan (soprano), Kitty Whately (mezzo-soprano) BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal College of Music Brass Band, Martyn Brabbins

Vaughan Williams’s London Symphony (the composer’s favourite of the nine) makes a rare appearance in its 1920 first publication. Three lesser-known works complete a highly desirable programme, while Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Symphony Orchestra understand how this music should be played like few others. This is mandatory listening.
