Andrew Manze and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra have created an impressive and worthy monument to the great English late romantic with their unanimously praised recording of the complete symphonies of Ralph Vaughan Williams on ONYX. For those who are not yet familiar with Vaughan Williams' music and may be afraid of big symphonic bites, the new recording with smaller orchestral works is recommended as an introduction. It contains some of his most beautiful and well-known compositions. For everyone else, the CD is undoubtedly a most welcome addition to the complete recording.
