Nobody captures the essence of this music like the 86-year-old Sir Adrian Boult. Gramophone is part of
The CD below also includes fine performances of perhaps Vaughan Williams's greatest symphonies 4,5 and 6. In the opening Molto moderato Elder’s enviably lucid conception distils both slumbering organic power and piercing heartache to the manner born, while the E flat trumpet and natural horn’s elegiac solos during the second movement really do bring a lump to the throat. Original CD release of Silvestri's Tallis Fantasia. The Neville Marriner/Academy recording is excellent, and classic for many reasons. "All the world is birthday cake" - George Harrison, "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." Sir Andrew Davis’s Vaughan Williams symphony cycle for Teldec may not have always found favour in these pages, the exception being this first instalment from 1990 containing the Sixth, Tallis Fantasia and The Lark Ascending. Abetted by uncommonly articulate orchestral playing, the performance of the Pastoral Symphony evinces a glowing dedication, remarkable luminosity of texture, songful rapture and emotional clout that mark it out as a front-runner alongside Boult (Decca), Previn (RCA), Handley (CfP) and Haitink (EMI). New Queen's Hall Orchestra / Barry Wordsworth. You won't go wrong with Barbirolli or Boult (several recordings), however I really like the Slatkin recording and the Silvestri, especially for the Winchester Cathedral acoustic which works very well in this work. The performance of No.4 was chosen as the No.1 choice by BBC's 'Building a Library' and Berglund's Sibelian No.6 is one of the few (like Abravanel and Boult's Decca recording) to get it right in my opinion. A quick overview of the greatest recordings of Vaughan Williams's Tallis Fantasia If you are a library, university or other organisation that would be interested in an institutional subscription to Gramophone please click here for further information. His orchestration of it resulted in an unmistakably British sound and has remained one of his most popular pieces. A Pastoral Symphony, etc. With a flick of the wrist he immediately establishes the perfect atmosphere – hushed but intensely alive at every turn. I consider this one of the 10 best audio recordings ever made. “Works of art create rules; rules do not create works of art.” - Claude Debussy. Still available inexpensively (UK Amazon). If not quite as enviably concentrated as either Handley or Haitink (to name the two most powerful contenders of recent years), Davis similarly surveys the Symphony in defiantly unsensational fashion, cannily refusing to overplay his hand in the final full flowering of the first movement’s second subject (like Handley, he already has his gaze firmly set on the slow movement’s shattering fff apex) and drawing playing of admirable hush and tension in the bleached finale. The Abravanel/Utah (coupled with other "stringy" works of VW) is a very good one: formerly VELIMIR (before that, Spitvalve). He builds unerringly to an impassioned climax and sets a satisfying seal on a glowing performance.
I like this one. A marvellous disc.
